# 2025 GB3 Championship

The 2025 GB3 Championship is a scheduled motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars held across Europe. The 2025 season is the tenth organised by the British Racing Drivers' Club in the United Kingdom, and the fifth season under the GB3 moniker after rebranding from the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship in mid-2021. The championship will feature a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers. The season is scheduled to be run over eight triple-header rounds, starting in April and ending in October.

## Teams and drivers

The 2025 season is scheduled to see the introduction of a new chassis and engine package. The new Tatuus MSV GB3-025 will conform to the FIA Formula Regional regulations while featuring a higher downforce output than its predecessor as well as a drag reduction system. The Pirelli tyres used will have their diameter increased by two inches, while the Mountune engine has also been redesigned and will provide 30BHP more power.

### Scoring system

Points will be 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 will have its grid formed by reversing the top twelve from the qualifying order, will award extra points, up until a maximum of twelve, for positions gained from the drivers' respective starting positions.
