Soviet Formula 3 Championship was Formula 3 series held in the Soviet Union in the years 1960 to 1987. [1]

In October 1956, the Central Automobile Club of the Soviet Union (CAMK) became a member of the FIA. As a result, CAMK representatives watched western races, including the Formula One British Grand Prix. As a result of this, it was decided to create Soviet motor sports, creating the Soviet Union championship in several racing classes, including Formula 3.[2]

The series was cancelled because of the collapse of the Soviet Union and replaced with Russian Formula 3 series.
