History

The first Formula Three championship to take place in Japan was held by "Nippon Formula 3 Association" (Japanese Formula 3 Association) in 1979, which was won by Toshio Suzuki. By 1981, it had evolved into a national-level series, Japanese Championship, and was organised by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF).

The foreign drivers' participation has increased since the 1980s and the majority of the champions is being occupied by them after the 1990s.

Equipment

Like most Formula Three championships, competitors in the Japanese Championship are permitted to use any eligible chassis.

Only Dallara chassis have been entered since 2007. In the past, March, Reynard, Ralt, Martini, Van Diemen and Japanese national manufacturers like TOM'S and Dome also had supplied chassis.

Engines are supplied by Toyota-TOM'S, Mugen-Honda and ThreeBond (Nissan).

Bridgestone has been the series' only tyre supplier since 1988. Dunlop and Yokohama had previously supplied tyres until 1987.
