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 pair of podium visits in the F4 British Championship at the weekend (June 14-16), as Bart Harrison took two second-place Rookie Cup finishes. The team was bolstered by the series return for F1 Academy and GT racer Carrie Schreiner, and she and Bart had two free practice sessions in mixed conditions on Friday, before qualifying on Saturday morning.

The German, who is a member of the Sauber Academy, has a wide range of experience in her career to date, scoring wins and podiums GTs and single seaters, including victory in F1 Academy at Zandvoort last year. Carrie started racing karts and became the most successful girl in German karting – being the first and to date only female X30 Junior champion.

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,[…..]
