Race calendar and results

• A provisional nine-round calendar was announced on 25 November 2011.^[19] On 2 April 2012, the calendar was reduced to eight events as series organisers decided to change the meeting due to be held at Lausitzring to Brands Hatch and drop another event, at Oschersleben. All eight rounds will be part of the revived ten-round FIA European Formula 3 Championship, and will also support Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters events.^[20]

Notes

1. All drivers competed in Dallara chassis; model listed.
2. Daniel Juncadella was disqualified from the first Norisring race after collisions with Pascal Wehrlein and Raffaele Marciello. As drivers were not promoted in the race results, no driver was officially recognised as having finished in first place.^[21]

Championship standings

The third race at the Norisring was red-flagged after half the race had been completed due to torrential rain. As a result, series organisers only awarded half points to each of the classified finishers eligible to score points.^[22] Similarly, half-points were awarded in the second race at Zandvoort, as only five laps were completed within the allotted time limit for racing.^[23]
