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 travelled to Donington Park at the weekend (October 21/22), for the final round of the GB3 championship 2023 season, where a run of bad luck meant results were unrepresentative of the team’s potential. After Thursday’s testing, rain plagued the Leicestershire venue on Friday, causing free practice to be called off and meaning Arthur Rogeon would go straight into qualifying on Saturday morning. The French youngster performed well, running third quickest midway through the 20-minute session, and at the end, he was just 0.6s from pole but finished up 13th, with hundredths and thousandths of a second separating[…..]

Chris Dittmann Racing added to its impressive history with its first title in the F4 British Championship in just its second season in the series, as Gustav Jonsson clinched the Rookie Cup on a memorable weekend (October 6-8) at Brands Hatch. With good performance during Friday’s practice sessions, both drivers felt confident heading into qualifying. However, a late red flag, with five minutes on the clock, disrupted both drivers’ final runs and Gustav finished tenth quickest with Jack 15th. In the opening contest Gustav was quick off the line, doing well to avoid a stalled Freddie Slater ahead, gaining five[…..]
