The 2024 GB3 Championship is a motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars held across Europe. The 2024 season is the ninth organised by the British Racing Drivers' Club in the United Kingdom, and the fourth season under the GB3 moniker after rebranding from the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship in mid-2021. The championship features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers. The season is run over eight triple-header rounds and started on 30 March at Oulton Park.[1]

Scoring system

Points are awarded to the top 20 classified finishers in races one and two, with the third race awarding points to only the top 15. Race three, which has its grid formed by reversing the top twelve from the qualifying order, awards extra points, up until a maximum of twelve, for positions gained from the drivers' respective starting positions.[37]
