Event Format and costs

The GB3 Championship is run by MotorSport Vision's racing arm, MSVR, and comprises 24 races across eight events.

The weekend format typically includes two 15-minute qualifying sessions and three 25 minute races. 

The grid for the first is set by the classification of the first qualifying session, while the grid for the second is formed by the results of the second qualifying session. The race three starting order will be the reverse of the top-12 fastest combined times achieved in qualifying prior to any penalties applied, with the remaining drivers lining up behind them in qualifying order. Such a format provides exciting racing, the opportunity for drivers to develop overtaking skills.

The minimum licence requirement for the GB3 Championship is FIA International C. Testing is unrestricted.
