Reindler to test for Carlin Motorsport

Media Release

TEAM BRM confirmed today that driver Karl Reindler has accepted an invitation to test with leading British F3 team Carlin Motorsport in August this year.

The announcement comes after Reindler dominated the Fifth round of the Australian F3 championship at Eastern Creek Raceway last weekend, scoring two pole positions and running away with both races.

The young West Australian will be a guest at the Silverstone round of the British championship, before having a seat fitting at the Carlin factory. Reindler will then test the team’s latest model ’04 Dallara at the Pembrey circuit on August 18 – 19.

Team BRM Technical director Ian Richards, who has had experience working with the Carlin outfit, will accompany Reindler to the UK for both the Silverstone round and the subsequent test.

The invitation to test with the leading British F3 team came after team owner Trevor Carlin met Reindler at the Wakefield Park round of the 2003 Australian Championship. Since then, both teams have been in regular contact, and Carlin has been following Reindler’s progress with interest.

Reindler will use the test to evaluate his options for a possible 2004 campaign on the British series.

“I am really happy to have been given this opportunity to test with arguably the best team in British Formula 3 racing,” he said. “It’s going to be a great chance to compare myself with the top drivers in British F3, and I am really looking forward to it.”

Reindler leaves for the United Kingdom directly after the Wakefield Park round of the Australian Championship in early August.
