British F3 - Round 5 - Nürburgring
British F3 moves back to Europe for the next three meetings and the first is at the Nürburgring this weekend. The circuit to be used will be the F1 version - last time BF3 went there in 2005 they used the MotoGP circuit with the less tight chicane. Bruno Senna set pole position and chased that year's champion, Alvaro Parente, all the way to the line.
This is the timetable: Friday, July 1 09:35 - 10:20 Free Practice 1 14:00 - 14:45 Free Practice 2 Saturday, July 2 10:25 - 10:55 Qualifying for Races 1 and 3 15:25 - 15.55 Race One Sunday, July 3 10:35 - 10:55 Race Two 14:00 - 14:40 Race Three The main race will be the AvD 100 Meilen. Formula 2 will also be there. Meeting preview. The boys from Brazil, Felipe Nasr and Lucas Foresti will shine, but so should Kevin Magnussen, who knows the circuit from his time in German F3 last year. |

For live timing you have to download and install a small program (link on SDO-SportTiming site or direct link here)
It's a Windows binary but runs fine on Linux (under Wine) too. After starting up the program, you'll see a screen asking to select a circuit. There's no Nürburgring, so click "SDO Timing" and the timing screen will open. |

Not Nürburgring related but British F3 related:
Hispania has confirmed that the 2009 Cooper Tires British Formula 3 Champion, Daniel Ricciardo, will make his Formula 1 racing debut in one of its cars at the British Grand Prix. http://www.formula3.co/news/hispania...niel-ricciardo |

Thanks, Valker, that's excellent!
Nasr is setting the pace again in Free Practice 2, but it still doesn't sound to be totally dry, although the times are much faster. |

Kevin Magnussen held of Felipe Nasr to win the the first race at the 'ring. The pair were always close but pulled 12 seconds clear of third-placed Harry Tincknell, who made a demon start from 8th on the grid.
Magnussen did the hat-trick of pole position, race win and fastest lap. He badly needed another win, but Nasr will be pleased to have extended his points lead as Lucas Foresti was back in 10th. Code:
Results - 15 laps: Pos Driver Team/Car Time/Gap 1. Kevin Magnussen Carlin Dallara-VW 28m49.811s 2. Felipe Nasr Carlin Dallara-VW + 0.544s 3. Harry Tincknell Fortec Dallara-Merc + 13.072s 4. Jazeman Jaafar Carlin Dallara-VW + 13.622s 5. Will Buller Fortec Dallara-Merc + 21.916s 6. Antonio Felix da Costa Hitech Dallara-VW + 22.234s 7. Jack Harvey Carlin Dallara-VW + 22.379s 8.

Jack Harvey has won the partly reversed grid race 2 at the Nurburgring for a welcome maiden victory with fastest lap as well. Felipe Nasr was 4th to extend his points lead further. Kevin Magnussen was 6th, but both of them will have kept their best remaining tyres for the feature race, which starts in not much more than half an hour and they are again side by side side (sort of) on the front row of the grid.
Race 2 results - 10 laps: Code:
Pos Driver Team/Car Time/Gap 1. Jack Harvey Carlin Dallara-VW 21m18.954s 2. Rupert Svendsen-Cook Carlin Dallara-VW + 2.800s 3. Pedro Nunes Hitech Dallara-VW + 6.910s 4. Felipe Nasr Carlin Dallara-VW + 7.319s 5. Jazeman Jaafar Carlin Dallara-VW + 10.021s 6. Kevin Magnussen Carlin Dallara-VW + 10.820s 7. Antonio Felix da Costa Hitech Dallara-VW + 11.443s 8. Harry Tincknell Fortec Dallara-Merc + 14.181s 9. Pipo Derani Double R Dallara-Merc + 16.009s 10. Scott Pye Double R Dallara-Merc + 16.439s 11. Lucas Foresti Fortec Dallara-Merc + 18.234s 12. Adderly Fong Sino Vision Dallara-Merc + 20.710s 13. Hywel Lloyd Sino Vision Dallara-Merc + 21.499s 14. Yann Cunha T-Sport Dallara-VW + 25.381s 15. Bart Hylkema T-Sport Dallara-Mugen + 30.812s 16. Kotaro Sakurai Hitech Dallara-Mugen + 39.872s Retirements: Menasheh Idafar T-Sport Dallara-VW 4 laps Carlos Huertas Carlin Dallara-VW 4 laps William Buller Fortec Dallara-Merc 4 laps Pietro Fantin Hitech Dallara-VW 0 laps Fahmi Ilyas Fortec Dallara-Merc 0 laps |

Breaking news: Felipe Nasr has just won the feature race at the Nurburgring. Kevin Magnussen led from the start until slowed by a misfire with two laps to go and then dropped to 5th at the flag. It's about time Carlin or VW found some reliability for his car.
Hylkema took the Rookie class. The podium was filled by da Costa and Huertas. Lots of changes and chases in the final laps! |

Pietro Fantin Hitech Dallara-VW + 18.772s 9. Harry Tincknell Fortec Dallara-Merc + 20.939s 10. Pedro Nunes Hitech Dallara-VW + 21.387s 11. Jazeman Jaafar Carlin Dallara-VW + 22.075s 12.

It seems that the engine misfire that robbed Kevin Magnussen of a win in the feature race at the Nurburgring was down to a simple spark plug failure. How annoying is that?
VW have responded at last and are mounting a full-scale investigation. |

Thinking about this some more, I don't buy into the spark plug theory. What the article says is:

That's true. I can't remember if I've mentioned this before but for the past couple of years use of the engines in BF3 has been supervised by NBE, who previously built and maintained the excellent Mugen-Honda engines. Suddenly it was given back to Spiess this year. That's a fact. Anything else is conjecture.
