1987 British Formula Three Championship
The 1987 British Formula Three season was the 37th season of the British Formula Three Championship. Johnny Herbert took the BARC/BRDC Lucas British Formula 3 Championship. There was also a "Class B" championship for older cars, called "National Class', which was won by British driver Gary Dunn, driving a Reynard 863-Volkswagen for Swindon Motorsport.
The season saw chassis from both Ralt and Reynard Motorsport prove competitive, with TOM's-tuned Toyota engines, Spiess-tuned Volkswagen engines, and twinspark Alfa Romeo engines all competitive options.
The scoring system was 9-6-4-3-2-1 points awarded to the first six finishers, with one extra point added to the driver who set the fastest lap of the race.
