Rounds one and two of the 2007 Lloyds TSB Insurance British F3 International Series provided an eventful start to the season at Oulton Park yesterday (Monday 9 April).
Maro Engel stormed to a lights to flag victory from pole in race one for Carlin Motorsport, with Hi Tech’s Marko Asmer second and Stephen Jelley third for Raikkonen Robertson racing.
Asmer got revenge in Race two, with Jelley improving to second and Sebastian Hohenthal coming home third. Frankie Cheng notched up National class victories in both races.
It was an expensive weekend for many race teams, with race one being run under full course yellows for a while and race two enduring two restarts – all due to accidents. The latter was cut short to 10 laps in the end.
Asmer leads the championship with 35 points from Engel on 28 and Jelley in third on 27. Rounds three and four will be at Donington park on 22 April.
