German Formula 3 Championship

The following results include championship and non-championship F3 races. The championship initially ran from 1950 to 1953, with only non-championship races being run up to 1959. From 1960 to 1963 the German Formula Junior Championship took place instead of the F3 races (see the Formula Junior section), before F3 was again restarted in 1964, although with no official championship. The Polifac Trophy took place in 1974, and from 1975 the official championship was restarted.
