Chris Dittmann Racing was rewarded with a well-earned podium finish in the GB3 Championship at the weekend (June 17/18), after hard work by the team and consistent performances by the drivers at Snetterton. Once again Zak Taylor and Arthur Rogeon climbed behind the wheel of the team’s machines, aiming to banish memories of a tough trip to Spa-Francorchamps last time out and get their seasons back on track. Zak was quick in pre-weekend testing, and carried that over to qualifying on Saturday, just 0.5s from pole position but 12th fastest such was the closely fought session, while Arthur was a[…..]

The French racer kept his cool in a race dominated by track limits penalties to avoid a sanction of his own, finishing third on just his second weekend of single seater racing, while Zak Taylor showed excellent pace but didn’t quite have the luck he needed for a headline result of his own. It was a wet qualifying on Saturday meaning there was limited running time on track. Zak managed[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing headed to picturesque Cheshire at the weekend (April 08/10) for the opening round of the GB3 Championship at Oulton Park, where a series of bad luck meant the team was unable to show its full potential. Although scenic, Oulton Park is a tricky circuit to cleanly overtake on, meaning qualifying plays a crucial part in how the weekend progresses. Despite his rookie status, French teenager Arthur Rogeon impressed with a lap quick enough to place his car firmly in the top ten. Team returnee Zak Taylor had a trickier time, with his lack of testing coming into play[…..]

After an impressive showing during pre-event testing, in which Zak Taylor was the fourth fastest car on Friday, it was straight into qualifying, where he and McKenzy Cresswell would look to carry over the promising pace.

After a long six-week summer break, Chris Dittmann Racing returned to action at Brands Hatch this weekend (10/11 September) for rounds 19, 20 and 21 of the GB3 Championship. After a season of mostly unrewarded potential, Anglo-Thai racer Branden Oxley brought home his maiden series win, and the team’s first win of the season.

Coming into the event off the back of a successful, double podium trip to Belgium, the team was aiming to carry on that form, buoyed further by the addition of Ayrton Ori to the line-up for the rest of the season. Sadly, a closely fought qualifying session meant margins were fine and with McKenzy Cresswell and Branden Oxley unable to hook it up for a fully clean lap, while Ayrton built[…..]
