3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 has been the name applied to two distinctly different motor racing categories, separated by over twenty years.
The original 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 was introduced in 1964 based on the FIA 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 of the period and intended as a cost-efficient open wheel category to run at state level for amateur racers. It was discontinued at the end of 1977.
3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 was reintroduced to Australia in 1999, again based on FIA 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3. An 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 Championship was sanctioned by the Confederation of 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian Motor Sport for the first time in 2001. From 2005 to 2014 the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian Drivers' Championship title (CAMS Gold Star) was also awarded to the winner of the championship. For 2015 the series reverted to the single title of 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 Championship. Following the withdrawal of national championship status, an 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 Premier Series has been contested since 2016.




History – The First Era



The 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 category was introduced by the Confederation of 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian Motor Sport in 1964 as the fourth tier of 3/info/formula" target="_blank">formula car racing in Australia, below the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian National 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula, the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 1½ Litre 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula and 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 2. Initially the 3/info/formula" target="_blank">formula was as per FIA 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3, with cars restricted to using production based engines of under 1000cc capacity with overhead camshafts not permitted. For 1969 the engine capacity limit was increased to 1100cc and the prohibition on overhead camshafts was removed. 1972 saw the engine capacity limit lifted to 1300cc. 1977 was to be the last year of the first era of 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 as the category was discontinued at the end of the season. 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 was never run under national championship status, although there were State Championships and the Stillwell Series.




History – The Modern Era



The modern era began when 2 Litre 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 cars were introduced into Australia in 1999, competing alongside 1600cc 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 2 cars in the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 2 National Series.
In the following year CAMS introduced FIA specifications for 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 cars in Australia and 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 drivers now had their own 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 National Series. Agreement was reached with CAMS to grant National Championship status to the 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 Series for 2001 and it officially became the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 Championship in that year. By the 2005 season CAMS had decreed that 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 was now Australia's premier open-wheel racing car class (displacing 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 4000) and as such the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian Drivers' Championship title (and the associated CAMS Gold Star) would be awarded on the results of the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 Championship.




List of Champions


Following the running of a National Series in 1999 and 2000, official national title status was granted by the Confederation of 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian Motorsport from 2001 onwards. From 2005 to 2014 the winner of the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 Championship was also awarded the CAMS Gold Star and the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian Drivers' Championship title. In 2015 CAMS stripped the Gold Star Award from the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 Championship citing low grid numbers. With the loss of national championship status for 2016 the series was renamed the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian 3/info/formula" target="_blank">Formula 3 Premier Series. Aligning with the 3/info/australian" target="_blank">Australian Motor Racing Series from 2019 the series returned to National Championship status.
