F3 Results Database, help please!
Allen Brown will soon be posting on oldracingcars.com the first set of results for F3 - a project that I've been quietly working on along with US FSV and Atlantic. This will be for 1982 British series, the year of Tommy Byrne. 1980 and 1985 are not far behind.
So what! I hear you cry, F3 results are everywhere on the internet, and some of them [especially Gerald Swan's] are on jolly good websites. These results are unique because, like all other ORC publications, they go to chassis number level where ever possible, and will usually include all practice times. In the 1980s this is usually feasible because the build records for most of the cars are available, and when one changed hands the press usually noted it. In addition we have some observations of chassis at particular races from experienced hands like Alan Brown and Adam Ferrington. What this database needs is 1: more observations of actual chassis plates from F3 races anywhere in the world between 1964 and 1987 [a completely arbitrary cut-off date] 2: programmes, because often the no-shows are as interesting than those who made it to the race 3: Car histories. There are quite a few owners of historic F3 chassis out there who know much, if not all, of who raced their car in period. We don't always know this, so do tell us about its exploits! Like Atlantic I aim to cover all countries with this endeavour, and there should be several seasons of Italian F3 from the 1970s to follow soon. This doesn't mean I've abandoned Atlantic, but whilst I'm gathering resources to do my book on F2 it's meant a good deal of European material has come into my hands [and completely clogged the floor of my study]. It seemed sensible to do something with all those Autosprints and Autohebdos once I'd filleted them for F2 material. Chris |

Yes, I know both Gerald and Stefan's sites. Gerald's is especially good since he includes extensive race reports, and in many ways what we're posting on ORC should be seen as a complement to that. We'll go for races that this site doesn't yet cover and will include chassis numbers where possible. We've also got a lot more data on Italian and French races in particular.
Unlike Stefan's site we'll be including grid positions and times, where known, and correcting some of the small mistakes. Chris |
