2022 GB3 Championship

The 2022 GB3 Championship is a motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars held across England and Belgium. The 2022 season is the seventh organised by the British Racing Drivers' Club in the United Kingdom, and the second season under the GB3 moniker after rebranding from the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship in mid-2021.[1] The championship features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers. For the 2022 season, a new updated chassis and engine pack were introduced.[2] The season is scheduled to be run over eight triple-header rounds and started on 16 April at Oulton Park.[3]
