1994 British Formula Three Championship

The 1994 British Formula Three season was the 44th British Formula Three Championship, won by Jan Magnussen. The season started on 27 March at Silverstone and ended there on 2 October following eighteen races. 1994 saw the introduction of a new points-scoring system, with points now awarded down to tenth position, instead of only to sixth as previously, and all rounds counting towards the championship. Magnussen broke the series' previous win record held by 1983 champion Ayrton Senna by winning fourteen of the season's eighteen races. Class B was won by Duncan Vercoe.

1994 champion, Jan Magnussen

In this 1994 British Formula 3 Season, for the first time there were four double events, in which two races were held at the same date and venue, each of them counting separately for the Championship, and awarding full points. In this type of event, the grid for the second race was established according to the finishing order of the first race.

The scoring system was 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 points awarded to the first ten finishers, with 1 (one) extra point added to the driver who set the fastest lap of the race. All results counted towards the driver's final tally.
