The following teams and drivers will compete in the Legends Championship (Season 3).

Season Summary
Season 3 kicked off with a non-championship event at the Nurburgring. The race turned to be an instant classic setting the tone for the rest of the season. The race started wet, moved to dry where a SC interrupted proceedings, and then back to wet leading to a lot of pit stops and lots of action on track. It was McLaren who came away the happier team as Kptk92 led a team 1-2 setting the benchmark for the teams as they head off to Australia for round 1. Ferrari weren't too far behind with Chrisayyy in third and x Shuffle in fifth. Every driver was present for the event bar Bubi8894 of the Red Bull team who was unable to make it to Germany leaving his team-mate oO Troggy Oo as the sole Red Bull who took 7th place.

The league kicked off in Australia with a 1-2 for Mercedes GP as xMDK Savage and I Exoray I took 43 points away from the German team. Williams took the final podium place as Sponts secured his first Legends podium. There was lots of action in a dry/wet race with the Red Bull's and McLaren's extremely close together as the Ferrari's finished P4 and P5.

In the final non-championship race at Spa created an absolute classic as the McLaren's once again finished in a 1-2 showing what the British team is capable of. Both Red Bull's of oO Troggy Oo and Bubi8894 showed a lot of promise throughout the race battling with the McLaren's for a long time, however a chance of victory was washed away once oO Troggy Oo developed a puncture with only 6 laps to go but did find consolation in fastest lap. Only 6 drivers finished the race, but it still provided a lot of action for the spectators.

The second round of the championship took place in KL, Malaysia and the second Ferrari of Chrisayyy was the only driver not taking part in the race. It was again a Mercedes victory as xMDKx Savage x took another victory to maintain his dominance however his team-mate I Exoray I retired from the race early on. The Force India's of NillisLukins and JonathanProc came back after a non-scoring event in Australia to take P2 and P4 respectively to jump the Indian team into second in the constructors. Sponts took another podium for Williams with Ferrari, McLaren, Sauber and Red Bull all taking points. Renault drivers StubbornGymnast and rjsnake made the jump to Team Lotus but their luck didn't get any better as the former was disqualified and the latter 4 laps down.

The final leg of the fly-away part of the season was held in Shanghai, China. It was again Mercedes who looked strong as xMDKx Savage x took a hat-trick of wins to put himself further ahead in the standings while his team-mate, I Exoray I brought home a solid third place to further extend Mercedes' lead in the Constructors. ShiftyF1 secured Sauber's first podium of the season with second place. NillisLukins snatched pole position only to receive a grid penalty making him start the race at the back but recovered well and found himself in fourth place when the chequered flag dropped. There were more points for McLaren and Ferrari as Team Lotus also picked up their first point as StubbornGymnast took tenth place. There were no points for Williams or Red Bull which dented their chances in the championships.
