The 2012 Cooper Tires British Formula 3 International Series season is the 62nd British Formula 3 International Series season. The series, promoted by the Stéphane Ratel Organisation, began on 6 April at Oulton Park and ended on 30 September at Donington Park after 29 races held at ten meetings.
The first two poles of the season were claimed at Oulton Park by second-year driver Jack Harvey for the Carlin team,[1] and he won the opening race of the year ahead of teammates Jazeman Jaafar and Carlos Sainz Jr.[2] In the reverse-grid second race, Fortec Motorsports' Pipo Derani scored his first win in the series,[3] while teammate Félix Serrallés won the third race of the weekend in his first Formula Three meeting.[4] A week later at Monza, Serralles and Sainz claimed their first poles in Formula Three.[5] Rain before the start of the first race forced drivers to change from slick tyres, and in effect, the race started from the pit lane.[6] Sainz, Jr. left pit lane first and won his first race in the championship. Derani and Jaafar, who had left the pits seventh and eighth respectively, joined Sainz, Jr. on the podium, while Serralles finished tenth.[7] Serralles won the second race held in torrential rain, ahead of Harvey and teammate Pietro Fantin,[8] while Sainz, Jr. comfortably won the third race, almost seventeen seconds clear of Serralles, with Serralles' teammate Alex Lynn taking his first podium in third place.[9]

Rain just before the start meant a wet race was declared, but everyone began the green-flag lap on slick tyres. They then all pitted for rain tyres at the end of it, meaning the race started from the pitlane.
