Racing calendar

On December 18, the series organizers published a provisional racing calendar for the 2013 season. This comprised nine racing weekends in Tarporley , Pau , Silverstone , Norfolk , Le Castellet , Spa-Francorchamps , Brands Hatch , the Nürburgring and Donington .

On January 28, the organizers announced that the racing calendar would be reduced from nine to four events. This step was justified with the great competition from the European Formula 3 Championship , which presents the British Formula 3 Championship with a "difficult and uncertain future".
Two of the four race weekends, Silverstone and Brands Hatch, were held as part of the British GT Championship , the races at Spa took place as part of the 24-hour race and the event at the Nürburgring was held as part of the Blancpain Endurance Series .
