# 2023 GB4 Championship

The 2023 GB4 Championship partnered by the BRDC was the second season of a motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars in Britain. The 2023 season, which had been organised by MotorSport Vision, was run over seven triple-header rounds.
GB4 will act as a direct feeder series to higher open-wheel categories, including the existing GB3 Championship partnered by the BRDC. GB4 will run primarily on the same British GT race programme as GB3, and retain many of the same championship partners.
