It was the seventh round of the 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship and was held in support of the 2024 British Grand Prix.

Hitech Pulse-Eight driver Martinius Stenshorne received a suspension from the seventh round at Silverstone Circuit.

He had competed in the Silverstone round of the GB3 Championship in April without prior FIA approval and was judged to have gained an illegal sporting advantage.

It was initially scheduled to be held at 09:20 local time (UTC+1), but was postponed after multiple delays due to weather conditions.

It was then announced that the Sprint race will be rescheduled and held at 18:00 local time (UTC+1).
