In 2012, Goddard graduated to the Rookie Class of the British Formula 3 Championship, competing for ThreeBond with T-Sport.[5] Fellow Australian racer Duvashen Padayachee was his only rival in this, because only Goddard and Padayachee raced the season full-time. The other four drivers competed in less than half the season. Goddard took the championship title with 49-point advantage on Padayachee.[6]

Goddard will continue his collaboration for ThreeBond with T-Sport, competing in FIA European Formula Three Championship full-time in 2013.[7]
