1982 British Formula One Championship
The 1982 British Formula One Championship was the fourth and final season of the British Formula One Championship. It commenced on 9 April 1982 and ended on 30 August after five races.[1]
Championship
After the Aurora company withdrew as the series' main sponsor in 1980, no championship was held in 1981. The series was revived in 1982 but with only a five round championship the series was only a shadow of its former self. Only ten drivers competed in the championship. The Drivers' Championship was dominated by Jim Crawford who claimed the championship in round four at Donington Park.[1]
The opening round of the 1983 season was held at Oulton Park.[2] The race won by Mike Wilds was the last British F1 Championship race as the undersubscribed series was disbanded after that event.[3]
