Chris Dittmann Racing is very happy to announce that Jacob Douglas will join the team for a pair of GB3 Championship meetings, beginning this weekend at Silverstone (July 25-28). The teenager, from Christchurch in New Zealand, has been racing since he was eight years old, and by the time he was 15, he was a four-time New Zealand Karting Champion. He made his car racing debut that same year, becoming Rookie Champion in South Island Formula Ford, and took second and third place finishes in a one-off appearance in Formula Pro USA. Competing in USF2000 in 2022, Jacob quickly adapted,[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing enjoyed a top-10 finish in the GB3 Championship at the weekend (July 12-14), but it was a case of what might have been for the team as bad luck blighted its results. After warm and sunny tests on Thursday, conditions turned cool, wet, and breezy for Friday’s practices, with that weather remaining for qualifying early on Saturday morning, making it difficult for drivers Seb Murray and Flynn Jackes. It was dry ahead of the first race of the weekend that afternoon, though rain fell on the formation lap and throughout, making some corners slippery and difficult as[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing travelled to the Hungaroring in Hungary at the weekend (June 21-23) but had to battle through the races after tight margins in qualifying left lots for the drivers to do. Adding GB3 Championship returnee Javier Sagrera to its full season line-up of Seb Murray and Flynn Jackes, all three had practice sessions across Thursday and Friday to familiarise themselves with the circuit ahead of qualifying on Saturday morning. The morning running was delayed due to storms and rain moving through the region overnight, and when the cars finally were released, it was another closely fought session where[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing enjoyed a strong visit to Spa-Francorchamps this weekend (May 31-June 2) as the team showed front-running pace and collected four top-10 finishes for its efforts. The expanded line up of Seb Murray, Flynn Jackes, and debutant Kanato Le made the most of three practice sessions on Friday, with every kind of weather thrown at them before qualifying, which took place on a fully dry track, later that afternoon. Seb finished 10th fastest, while Kanato was 14th but just one second from pole on his debut, with Flynn just behind. Conditions were damp ahead of Saturday’s opening race,[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing is delighted to announce that Kanato Le will be joining the team for the upcoming GB3 Championship races at Spa-Francorchamps. The 16-year-old Japanese racer has already bagged plenty of experience despite his young age, managing the transition from karts – where he finished second in the 2020 IAME Euro Series and the 2021 IAME Winter Series – to cars with ease. Moving to Europe, he started at 14 in the Ginetta Junior Championship in 2022, scoring two wins, five podiums, and one pole position as he ended as the Rookie runner up. He switched to single seaters[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing returned to GB3 Championship action this weekend as the second meeting of the season took place on the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit. Despite encountering various obstacles, the team demonstrated promising indications of competitive pace and potential, as full-season drivers Seb Murray and Flynn Jackes were joined by FIA Formula 3 Championship race winner Martinius Stenshorne, making his debut in the series. After two days of testing, the trio headed out on a wet track for qualifying, and with conditions tricky, Seb unfortunately went off into the gravel at Vale, meaning he ended the session 22nd. Martinius, however,[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing is delighted to welcome Martinius Stenshorne to the team for the upcoming GB3 Championship meeting at Silverstone, over the weekend of April 27/28. The Norwegian born racer is already a winner in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, having clinched victory in the Sprint Race in Melbourne last month, fighting his way into the lead in the early stages and fending off late pressure to cross the line first. In 2023 he made his way into the Formula Regional European Championship history books as the first Rookie to take pole position at the opening race of the year[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing had a positive opening weekend in the GB3 Championship, showing signs of promise and pace with debutants Seb Murray, Flynn Jackes, and Rishab Jain. Coming into the meeting the team topped the times in practice on Friday morning, Flynn leading Seb in a one-two, with Rishab eighth quickest. In qualifying, it was Seb who led the way, finishing 11th fastest but just 0.7s from pole position, while just behind, Flynn was 17th and Rishab 20th. Sadly, Seb bogged down off the line in race one, slipping back to 15th, with Flynn right on his tail and Rishab[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing is pleased to announce that Rishab Jain will join the team for the opening weekend of the GB3 Championship, making it a three-car line-up to begin the season. Rishab went to his first Formula 1 World Championship race at just two years of age, when his parents took him to Sepang in Malaysia, leading to spells in karting and sim racing, before making his car racing debut in the Sports Prototype Cup Korea, scoring a podium finish. Joining the Rosberg Racing Academy as he aimed to bridge the gap from karting to formula racing, before competing in[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing is delighted to announce that Scottish born racer Sebastian Murray will be the second driver to join the team’s GB3 Championship line-up for the 2024 season. The 16-year-old racer, who is based in the United Arab Emirates, made his single seater debut at the 2022 F4 UAE Trophy event at Yas Marina Circuit, supporting the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, where he scored an impressive pair of top ten finishes. At the beginning of 2023, Sebastian contested the full F4 UAE season, as well as taking in a busy programme of F4 testing across Europe. Looking to expand[…..]
