Ayrton Simmons achieved the fastest ever recorded lap time in a BRDC British F3 car at Snetterton during another strong showing for Chris Dittmann Racing in the British F3 Championship this weekend (18-19 May). The Epping racer – recently 18 – wrote his name into the record books after an impressive stint during testing on Friday.

Team principal Chris Dittmann said: “It was a mixed weekend. After two podiums on[…..]

And a late drop-out even saw Team Principal Chris Dittmann get behind the wheel for a rare outing to give Carey a run for his money with three of his own podiums for good measure. Chris said: “I wasn’t going[…..]

Ayrton Simmons has confirmed he will return to the BRDC British F3 Championship in 2019, joining the Chris Dittmann Racing team with whom he contested selected rounds last year. The all-time highest points scorer in British F4 history competed in British F3 at Spa Francorchamps, Donington Park and Silverstone in 2018, making an immediate impression with fourth on the grid at the legendary Belgian circuit, just 0.142s off pole position despite no testing beforehand.

A busy weekend at Silverstone also saw Ayrton Simmons take P5 in the[…..]
Chris Dittmann got behind the wheel for the first time this season to dominate proceedings in the F3 Cup at Rockingham this weekend (29-30 Sept). The Chris Dittmann Racing principal took the place of driver Phillip Jeans who missed out at the last minute through illness. And with three poles, two wins and the lap record for good measure, it’s fair to say he hit the ground running. But there was more good news for the team, with Patrick Jeans claiming a podium for his season’s best finish. And another podium for Cian Carey in the final race saw him[…..]
Ayrton Simmons and Cian Carey showed plenty of potential in the BRDC British F3 Championship at Donington for Chris Dittmann Racing this weekend (22-23 Sept). Ayrton, on only his second race weekend in the competition, put on a pacey performance to take P3 in qualifying before going on to two P6s and a P7. Despite his lack of testing, it was unfortunate that two races were interrupted by long safety car periods, or a podium looked on the cards. Meanwhile, Cian, on debut, showed glimpses of his pace to take a Top 10 finish with limited time in the car[…..]

But it was Carey who caught the eye once again with some brilliant driving that signalled his intention to remain at the[…..]
