Chris Dittmann Racing had plenty of positives to take away after the opening round of the BRDC British F3 Championship at Oulton Park (31 Mar – 2 Apr). Despite having just one week with new Malaysian driver Chia Wing Hoong, the team were able to put on a pacey display full of promise. In fact, a podium was even on the cards in the second race – until a slight mistake while in fourth and honing in on the Top 3 saw the 22-year-old spin off the track. But after being among the quickest laps, the team were delighted with the[…..]
Malaysian driver Chia Wing Hoong will compete for Chris Dittmann Racing at this weekend’s season opener at Oulton Park. The 22-year-old joins the series after a varied single-seater career which has seen him race across Europe and in Asia over the past year.

Tewkesbury’s Chris Dittmann Racing (CDR) ended its BRDC British F3 championship action for the season with three points-scoring finishes, and pace to challenge for the top-ten, despite beginning the weekend on the back foot at Donington Park last weekend (23-24 September). The team fielded a single car for Jeremy Wahome in the championship finale, and the young Kenyan performed well to qualify 13th after only arriving at the circuit on Saturday morning. Jeremy’s travel from Kenya was delayed, preventing him from benefitting from any pre-event testing, so it was an impressive display to set a competitive lap time and even[…..]
