The 1983 British Formula Three Championship season witnessed a head-to-head title battle between future Formula One stars Ayrton Senna and Martin Brundle. Senna built up a commanding advantage by winning the first nine races in succession, but a series of retirements for the Brazilian later in the year allowed Brundle to close the gap. The Brit took the points lead heading into the series finale, but Senna dominated the final race at Thruxton to secure the title. Senna won 12 of the 20 races in the season (60% of that year's races), which was a record until Jan Magnussen won 14 of the 18 races in the 1994 season.
