Very interesting day's racing... where to begin ?
Jamie Spence is back - very impressive, but fell off in both races ![]() Sato had a poor day - two shunts in race one and a conservative drive in race two. James Courtney took the honours in race one after the shunt between Spence and Sato. Matt Davies won race two - his maiden win - for the impressive Team Avanti. American, Paul Edwards impressed. Matt Gilmore won both scholorship class races... as predicted by our illustrious forum host, Marshal! ![]() |

I suppose I'd better leave any gloating about my prediction skills to the end of the season, but I was quite impressed by Gillmore over the weekend.
Very impressed by Team Avanti, what ever I said before hand, there's was a brilliant performance yesterday. Matt Davies in particular looked a lot smoother and more mature than in previous seasons. Gimmi Bruni was very good too, particularly as he ended race 2 with a flat tyre. And Derek Hayes, Mr consistency with 2 3rds. Not so good from Takuma (what were you doing man, where has the pace gone?) and Kiesa. Looks like an interesting year. |

Good start to the season, thoroughly enjoyed it yesterday - although annoyed to be sitting in traffic on the A43 whilst the first F3 race was on.
I was just sorting out my photos and was hunting around to find out who was in the second Avanti car. Photos are now online at http://www.motorsport-photo.accelera...ptour20011.htm |

Also gutted about sitting in traffic jam - that wasn't expected!!
A good day though and looks good for the rest of the year. |

yeah, I was stuck in the same traffic jam too.
Most impressed with Jamie Spence who didn't exactly fall off rather he was nudged by a certain Japanese driver! Most pleased with Jamie agreeing to do a diary of his thoughts for each race weekend for my site - let's hope it comes to fruition. Anyone notice Gimmi Bruni's blue hair? A bet apparently! Anyone see Ronan Keating (there with Shane) and also Paul Stewart, looking very healthy. And some old guy from the Bill too. It seems the F3 paddock is becoming quite star studded!!! |

Hold on, hold on, there's a post gone missing here. Somebody (can't remember who) posted about Martin O'Connell in the post above mine and I was just commenting in response to that to say I'd been hunting out who'd been in that car so I could add the details to my photos.
I didn't imagine it, honest ![]() |

Ah right, it's been set up as a new topic, Team Avanti's 2nd driver. I've only just noticed that..
