Why their season is so short I can't work out .

I can! The F3 championship season-opener used to be at Thruxton in March, which wasn't always the most clement.
In, I think, 1984 I travelled down with a photographer friend on a typical foggy, damp, dank, dismal morning. "This will soon burn off", he remarked.
We then had about the most dismal cold, wet days' motor racing I've had in my life!
