Branden Oxley meanwhile had another strong weekend as he continues his adaptation to the series. The youngster was eighth, 12th and 12th again in the three contests at one of the most challenging circuits in Europe. Simmons’ qualifying was affected by a wiring loom[…..]

Chris Dittmann Racing had a successful visit to Snetterton last weekend (7-8 August) as the 2021 GB3 Championship season entered it’s second half.

Saturday morning’s qualifying session was one of the more bizarre in recent memory. It started in damp conditions but with rain on the way, it was important[…..]

Chris Dittmann Racing’s BRDC British F3 duo Ayrton Simmons and Max Marzorati head to the epic Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium this weekend (23-25 July), for the series’ traditional trip across the English Channel.

Simmons is the only driver to have won at the circuit in a BRDC British F3 car, while Marzorati claimed a richly deserved podium last time out at Donington, his maiden top-three result in British F3. As well as being the only driver on the grid to have won a British[…..]
Max Marzorati’s maiden BRDC British F3 podium finish was the highlight of Chris Dittmann Racing’s visit to Donington Park last weekend (10-11 July).

CDR are the only team this season to have won at both venues raced at this year, and did so last time out at Silverstone with Simmons, despite a transmission issue that has been traced back to his round[…..]
A trying BRDC British F3 weekend at Silverstone (26-27 June) ended in triumph for Chris Dittmann Racing, after a superb drive from Ayrton Simmons in the final race of the weekend. Hobbled throughout the event by an issue that appears to be linked to his Brands Hatch race two accident, Simmons took advantage of a strong starting position in race three at Silverstone to take the lead early on and soar to his second victory of the season, despite a mid-race safety car period that wiped out his early advantage. His impressive victory backed up a pair of top-10 results[…..]
