The 1979 German Formula Three Championship (German : 1979 Deutsche Formel-3-Meisterschaft )[ 1] was a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seat open wheel formula racing cars held in Germany. The championship featured drivers competing in two-litre Formula Three racing cars which conformed to the technical regulations, or formula, for the championship. It commenced on 11 March at Circuit Zolder and ended at Kassel-Calden on 7 October after seven rounds (the first Nürburgring round was cancelled due to snowfall).
Klaus Zimmermann Racing Team driver Michael Korten became a champion. He won races at Fassberg , Nürburgring and Kassel-Calden. Hans-Georg Bürger won the race at Diepholz and finished as runner-up. Walter Lechner completed the top-three in the drivers' standings. Ernst Maring, Thierry Boutsen and Michael Bleekemolen were the only other drivers who were able to win a race in the season.[ 2]
