Who's in British F3 2005? - Page 13

Mathias · 28 Feb 2005, 17:41 (Ref:1238223)

Just out of interest, what is Russfeld's objection to the use of the word "sponsor" to describe sponsorship activity in anything less than F1? Please?

Also, I've thought of another reason why doing National Class F3 is better than doing FRenault or a Spanish or Turkish F3 or something. It's this: You're in inferior machinery to your Championship class lads, but you get the chance to mix it with them, and show just how much better you are. Admittedly, that wasn't the case much as often in 2004 as it had been in previous years (and that could be a reflection on the quality of entrants), but you show me an occasion where someone could generate the kind of interest in FRenault or Spanish F3 that, say, Adam Carroll did on a regular basis in 2002 - or even Robert Dahlgren did by grabbing overall pole in the same year.

Back to topic now please... and maybe I'll give y'all an exclusive, if you ask nicely...,

Please give us all an exclusive, Sir Mathias

Well its got to be something to do with Andrew Thompson and at a guess I'd say he's probably signed up with Promatecme to race the Lola...am I hot Mathias!? (ok,that sounds a bit kinky!)

so who wasn't there that should have been? anyone? i'm losing track here slightly...

strider · 4 Mar 2005, 00:22 (Ref:1241823)

Fluid Motorsport were at Snett on Tuesday, otherwise that's about it at the moment.

There may be one or two more at Silverstone on Monday or Snett on Wednesday. Offhand, I can think of one other probable deal, plus three possibles, one of which would be very good.

strider · 4 Mar 2005, 00:32 (Ref:1241831)

PS If the teams are to be believed, make that five or six possibles!

Craner Curves · 7 Mar 2005, 20:49 (Ref:1246010)

Is Susie Stoddart a Red Bull backed driver now?

Kicking-back · 7 Mar 2005, 20:51 (Ref:1246013)

Looks like it

**bella** · 7 Mar 2005, 20:53 (Ref:1246014)

erm, comtec have had red bull backing for at least 5 years now one way or another, it's not a personal thing in the slightest...

Dr Venom · 7 Mar 2005, 21:01 (Ref:1246027)

no backing from red bull this year, bella's right it's just a photo taking last year when Susie's was racing with comtec.

Craner Curves · 7 Mar 2005, 21:18 (Ref:1246050)

Ok, I wasn't aware of this. Is she still associated with Comtec now, even though she's with ADR? This is a very recent photo to promote the Scottish Motorcycle Show.

Kicking-back · 7 Mar 2005, 21:25 (Ref:1246060)

Yep - that picture was taken within the past few days.

Craner Curves · 7 Mar 2005, 21:30 (Ref:1246065)

Maybe she just ran out of clothes. Simple enough excuse.

**bella** · 7 Mar 2005, 21:33 (Ref:1246073)

unheard of for a girl, mr curves

BillyT · 9 Mar 2005, 21:27 (Ref:1248105)

Wasnt Michael Hereck meant to be racing this season?

strider · 9 Mar 2005, 21:45 (Ref:1248124)

Michael Herck tested at Silverstone on Monday. According to Motorsport News a week or two ago, he will only be doing selected BritF3 rounds, probably the ones that run with the LMES. Certainly Spa, because he's Belgian.

Despite the races abroad, it makes no sense for a European team to do the whole BritF3 season without a base in the UK.

JJ Jet Plane · 10 Mar 2005, 11:44 (Ref:1248464)

Hey Foxy, Herck won the Spanish Formula Junior AND Italian Formula Renault Monza titles last year (same category, just different names) from his base in Belgium or Luxembourg (not sure which). And those countries are a LOT further away for him than the UK!

Looks more like a Red Eye backed driver to me...,

Herck's in a bit of a difficult position according to this week's MN. He was caught testing against the regs... looks like he may have done a deal to enable him to compete though... (funny, I heard Paul Stoddart say something like that recently)

strider · 10 Mar 2005, 17:39 (Ref:1248773)

As I said, he'll do some Brit F3 races but not all. He wasn't 'caught' testing in the sense that he tried to do it on the quiet. The team has been very open about everything. He's trying to 'do a Piquet' and conquer the world with his own team, which ain't the easiest thing in the world to do, but good luck to the kid.

BillyT · 10 Mar 2005, 20:38 (Ref:1248928)

I think he was testing but the teams agreed that it was Ok because he wasnt using Avon tyres or on a track that is on the Brit F3 calender.

Morcilman · 15 Mar 2005, 09:22 (Ref:1252227)

this is just the start of a hanfull of problems. This guy did all kind of things like that in Spain last year, he is so polemic and uses all that he can think to win the championship, most of them right on the line of legality... it worked ok for him last year. Trust me, is going to be interesting to see the new tricks that they will play...

Last year he had a profesional driver in the other car paid to protect his son, engines that came from a different place, all kind of legal tricks to get the championship... I am going to have fun enjoying those mental exercises...
