1971 German Formula Three Championship
The 1971 German Formula Three Championship was a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seat open wheel formula racing cars held across Germany. The championship featured drivers competing in two-litre Formula Three racing cars which conformed to the technical regulations, or formula, for the championship. It commenced on 11 April at Nürburgring and ended at Mendig on 29 August after six rounds.
Manfred Mohr became a champion. He won the season opener. Dieter Kern finished as runner-up, winning race at Bremgarten. Hermann Unold completed the top-three in the drivers' standings.
The scoring system was 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 points awarded to the first ten finishers. All results counted towards the driver's final tally. Only German drivers were awarded points. So, in races that had entries of drivers from other countries, these drivers were not eligible for points.
