Formula 3 car image

Around the world, no other race series has produced as many Grand Prix winners and World Champions as the British Formula 3 championship.

Jackie Stewart, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and Mika Hakkinen, the list of F1 household names who have graduated from the British F3 Championship is long and impressive.

In 2011, the championship celebrates its 60th anniversary, in a history that has witnessed many new generations of cars and drivers making their mark over the years.

The Formula 3 category provides the first opportunity for young drivers and engineers to learn about and experiment with different mechanical and aerodynamic settings which are invaluable as competitors' progress in international motor sport.

In 2011, Carlin will be represented by Carlos Huertas, Jack Harvey, Rupert Sendsen-Cook, Felipe Nasr, Jazeman Jaafar and Kevin Magnussen.
