The Formula 1-supporting GP3 Series, like the GP2 championship that became Formula 2, is now part of the FIA's remit under a new banner - Formula 3. The category will be very similar to its 2012-18 iteration, but the GP3 name has been consigned to the motorsport history books.

The third-tier series ran for nine seasons, during which ART Grand Prix become something of a category powerhouse with six drivers' champions and eight teams' titles. Only Carlin and Alex Lynn prevented it taking a clean sweep of the latter honour. GP3 may not have produced the same level of exciting, overtaking-filled races as GP2/F2, but 12 of its drivers - and six of its champions - have gone on to race in F1.

Here we present the full history of GP3, with each season ranked in order, from worst to best.
