Bishop was unlucky in Kent, having been in potential race-winning positions in races one and two until spinning out. Both he and Wiltshire left Brands Hatch having recorded a sixth-place finish, –Wiltshire in race two, Bishop in race three. Wiltshire, the 2015 championship runner-up,[…..]

Chris Dittmann Racing was left ruing what might have been after a luckless weekend at Brands Hatch in F3 Cup. The weekend began in promising fashion, with team-mates Stuart Wiltshire and Tony Bishop locking out the second row for the squad during qualifying.
