After a long six-week summer break, Chris Dittmann Racing returned to action at Brands Hatch this weekend (10/11 September) for rounds 19, 20 and 21 of the GB3 Championship. After a season of mostly unrewarded potential, Anglo-Thai racer Branden Oxley brought home his maiden series win, and the team’s first win of the season. With a brief, extra morning practice session on Saturday to allow drivers to familiarise themselves with the full Grand Prix circuit layout, it was straight into qualifying, where a disruption caused a red flag just five minutes into the session as a driver went off at[…..]

Chris Dittmann Racing had a tough time at the weekend (July 30/31) as the GB3 Championship finished back-to-back race meetings on Grand Prix circuits, travelling from Spa-Francorchamps to Silverstone. Coming into the event off the back of a successful, double podium trip to Belgium, the team was aiming to carry on that form, buoyed further by the addition of Ayrton Ori to the line-up for the rest of the season. Sadly, a closely fought qualifying session meant margins were fine and with McKenzy Cresswell and Branden Oxley unable to hook it up for a fully clean lap, while Ayrton built[…..]

Chris Dittmann Racing enjoyed its best weekend of the season so far as the GB3 Championship visited the fabled Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium at the weekend (July 22-24) as Branden Oxley and McKenzy Cresswell claimed podium finishes. Both cars performed well during Friday’s test sessions and that form continued into qualifying, as Branden ran towards the top of the field for much of the session, before being shuffled down in the closing stages, though his efforts would mean he lined up on the front row for the second race. McKenzy was consistent, recording the sixth quickest time for both contests, leaving[…..]
Chris Dittmann Racing travelled north to Croft circuit in Yorkshire at the weekend (25/26 June) for rounds 13, 14, and 15 of the F4 British Championship season, as local racer Joel Pearson aimed to continue his development. After a tough weekend last time out at Oulton Park, the focus remained on Joel as he learns and improves every time he climbs behind the wheel. The weekend was to end with a worrying incident involving the 16-year-old, but thankfully after checks at the medical centre, he was cleared to head home to recover. With a number of tight corners, the narrow[…..]
