1993 British Formula Three Championship

1993 British Formula 3 International Series 1992 1994 The 1993 British Formula Three season was the 43rd British Formula Three Championship, won by Kelvin Burt. The season started on 21 March at Silverstone and ended at Thruxton on 10 October at following fifteen races. Paul Stewart Racing were forced to switch Burt from a Reynard to a Dallara chassis in order to stave off the challenge of Oliver Gavin, who had been using a Dallara since the fourth round. The season marked the beginning of the Italian firm's domination of the series — Dallara chassis have won every British F3 title since. https://www.autosport.com/bf3/news/how-a-timely-change-of-chassis-transformed-formula-3-forever/10448128/ How a timely change of chassis transformed Formula 3 forever Autosport 25 March 2023 26 March 2023 Simmons Marcus subscription Class B was won by British driver Jamie Spence. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1993/4/month-motor-sport/?v=79cba1185463 The month in Motor Sport October 1993 Motor Sport magazine 26 March 2023 The scoring system was 9-6-4-3-2-1 points awarded to the first six finishers, with 1 (one) extra point added to the driver who set the fastest lap of the race.
