Otherwise yeah, I haven't followed too closely his times, just the overall results. I remember day 1 in Barcelona was kind of useless, so for a rookie it should have been a bit tough with the conditions and then you should give your best in the fastest morning session, but in this category you shouldn't have problems with such days and that's why you need experience. |

If Carlin were not worried by the opposition Buller would probably be in a Double R seat and they would have had a full compliment of drivers at the start of the seasons testing. Double R now has 3 keen young drivers who've all tasted podium results. Double R Racings Anthony Hieatt engineered many Carlin early victories and Carlin was built on that. There's a lot of talk about Scott Malvern, he's obviously a fine FF driver, but testing times don't always translate to race victories and may be he wouldn't have made it in F3. There are a few backers of promising F3 talent, did Malvern get interest from them? Or did they not see the risk worthwhile? I don't follow FF closely,but did Uhrhane not have a few issues with his FF car last year. I wouldn't write off Double R or T-Sport chances of getting in the mix, out of the Carlin cars I'm sure there are only 3 possible championship winning cars at present and that will probably soon be down to two and may be 2 or 3 at most at Fortec. Numbers in British F3 are at least a little more credible now. |

Scott in his role as a driver coach in British FF this year will be present at many of the rounds & of course has one or two friends & former team mates from last year that he will be supporting so we are looking forward to what we hope will be another great season.

Another excellent car from Dallara....teams are finding cornering speeds up approx 5 % and next year with the new purpose built engines a further 12% of power should be really good.

Tbh, it's an expense the series could have down without this year and i think it's reflected in the entry list. I expect everyone is taking thier 2011 stock to the Euro Open? |

"revised" is a bit out. The 312 is completely different car and the photo doesn't really do the car justice, the nose gives a great look. It' a sign of the times, the 312 meets more stringent safety standards than the 308. Better side head protection is one feature with extended high cockpit side. Front dampers inside the tub rather than on top of it help with the new curvy front end look.

Simply adore F3 - the best single seater category outside of F1 in my view.Good luck to both the British and Euro Championships and let's hope it only gets stronger in coming years.
I think it's still the only "open" category out there even though Dallara remains the chassis of choice - I hate one-make spec Formula! The Macau GP is one of the best races anywhere in the World - I really hope that remains on the F3 calendar. |

No it isn't. It isn't a spec-formula at all, totally different. Even if all have Dallara, no two teams Dallaras are the same.

excellent preview of british f3 on autosport.com and in this weeks magazine, particularly if you're a bit down on this seasons grid |

Sainz to also race in Euroseries with Carlin, great to see him again out-testing and out-spending everybody.

that spending is keeping people in jobs and putting another car on the grid. let's be realistic here...
