Hankook Formula-3-Grand Prix
I just read that this will happen in July at Eurospeedway Lausitz. It will be an international event like Zandvoort but it will take place on the oval. I heard that the last F3 race there was amazing, i hope many international teams participate in the event.

Is it certain yet that it will happen? Last thing I heard, a few days ago, was that it is not a done deal yet.

has it been established that f3 engines will last a weekend on an oval, or that they have adequate crash testing?

Well they raced on the oval last year, so i guess the answer is yes.

i'd be interested to see whether it limited the life of the engine overall.
personally i'm (evidently!) not a huge fan of the idea, but that's from a slightly uneducated point of view. |

What i heard is that everybody who participated was happy and the race was great too with up to 6 lead changes per lap and on the page was stated that the engines arent an issue.

Sounds great, I wish I'd caught some coverage of the Recaro F3 Cup round last year.
I'd like to see a similar thing at Rockingham (maybe a BF3 round?)... I've had little to draw me to our country's oval since the 2002 CART race. |

Only the cleverest team/driver combination will win that race

I doubt very much if it will happen. It's hard enough to find a slot for Zandvoort amongst all the other calendars.
The engines might well last, but there would be at least one extra rebuild as a result and that isn't cheap. |

The problem with Lausitz at the moment is that they will do anything to stage races.
I too doubt that an F3 is built to race on an oval. It went well last year as all the drivers were the regular championship ones. With an open event? |
