This site is dedicated to preserving the history of the first 50 years of Formula Three racing from its start in 1950 with the 500s to the domination of Dallara in 2000.
F3 History
A 1951 Kieft shows the typical lines of a 500cc F3.
The winner ain't the one with the fastest car. It's the one who refuses to lose.
Formula 3 has always been a breeding ground for Champions and the vast majority of top drivers from Europe, South America and Japan over the last forty years made their name racing these wonderful cars. The pictures on the right are a roll call of World Champions all of whom first drew attention to themselves with their F3 successes.
It’s not only F3 drivers whose names resonate through motorsport history: Lotus, Brabham, March, Chevron, Ralt, Dallara, Martini are just some of the manufacturers that have won a huge number of races through the first five decades that F3 has been part of the racing scene.
