Highlights of selected rounds from the 1983 British Formula 3 Championship, including Round 7 at Thruxton, Round 8 at Brands Hatch and Round 9 at Silverstone and Round 12 at Snetterton.
The 1983 Championship was an epic affair and witnessed a head-to-head season long battle between future stars of Formula One, Ayrton Senna and Martin Brundle. Senna dominated early on, winning the first 9 races of the season, but following a series of retirements, the door opened for Brundle to make his mark and the Championship went right down to the final round at Thruxton, where Senna secured victory and the 1983 title.
