Rockinhgham showdown
AFTER four races each in the Cooper Tires British F3 International Series & the Avon Tyres British GT Championship the competitors head to Rockingham in two weeks with everything to play for.
Some of the world’s best young driving talents will go head-to-head at the Northamptonshire circuit on May 30/31 as the stars of the future from the British F3 compete to be the finest racing driver of their generation.
Australian Daniel Ricciardo leads the way with three race victories under his belt already in his Red Bull-backed Carlin Motorsport Dallara-Volkswagen, but plenty are lining up to rein in his advantage, not least his British team-mates Max Chilton, Oliver Oakes and Henry Arundel.
The British GT Championship will also provide some thrilling action with glamorous supercars racing bumper-to-bumper at breathtaking speeds.
No fewer than eight drivers are separated by a single point at the top of the championship table and with three different victors in the opening four rounds it’s certainly shaping up to be an unpredictable season.
Young guns Daniel Brown and Stuart Hall won the opening two rounds in their Mosler but lost ground last time out, where the Viper of Aaron Scott and Craig Wilkins scored its maiden win of the season.
