The 2023 GB3 Championship is a motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars held across Europe. The 2023 season is the eighth organised by the British Racing Drivers' Club in the United Kingdom, and the third 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. The season is run over eight triple-header rounds and started on 8 April at Oulton Park.[2]

Championship standings

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 qualifying order, awards extra points for positions gained from the drivers' respective starting positions.

Races	Position, points per race
Races	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	11th	12th	13th	14th	15th	16th	17th	18th	19th	20th
Races 1 & 2	35	29	24	21	19	17	15	13	12	11	10	9	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1
Race 3	20	17	15	13	11	10	9	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1

Notes

¹ ² ³ refers to positions gained and thus extra points earned during race three.
