Edge Club F3 Club F3, a BRSCC ‘Flagship’ single seater series, once again has sponsorship from the financial services company, The Enterprise Group. As a result of this sponsorship, Club F3 will be supported by regular, professional and focused media promotion, via motor racing journals, and Sky TV coverage of certain races. The organising team have many years of motor sport organisational, management and racing experience which, combined with their enthusiasm and focus, will ensure the series continues to grow, through being promoted and supported in a highly professional way.
In this way, not only will BRSCC club members continue to enjoy better racing, value for money and recognition, but Club F3 can also act as a ‘promotional springboard’ for other talented drivers who wish to gain experience in F3 cars. They will now have the platform to gain recognition, by demonstrating their abilities in top quality single seater cars, at a fraction of normal race budgets required for all other top single seater series.
Club F3 is for drivers participating in Formula 3 single seater cars with a 2 litre restricted engine built and raced between 1st January 1981 and 31st December 2004, racing in three classes:
Class A - For cars and engines/ECUs built and raced between 1st January 1997 and 31st December 2004, with a 26mm engine air restrictor.
Class B - For cars and engines/ECUs built and raced between 1st January 1992 and 31st December 1996, with an engine air restrictor of up to 26mm.
Masters Class - For cars and any engines/ECUs built and raced between 1st January 1981 and 31st December 1991, with an engine air restrictor of up to 25mm.
Note: A Masters Class driver may, upon entry to the series, elect to run their car in either Masters Class with a 25mm air restrictor, or in Class B with a 26mm restrictor upon an existing Master Class engine. In addition, when electing to compete in Class B, engines/ECUs built and raced during the defined time period (as above) for Class B cars can also be used with a 26mm air restrictor. (In all other respects Master Class rules apply).
There will be an individual ‘Class’ winner from each of the three classes. In order to ensure that drivers from all classes have an equal opportunity to win a simple ‘car weight ballast’ handicapping system will be applied. All cars will be weighed ‘as finishing’ inclusive of all liquids, with the driver on-board at the end of all qualifying sessions and races.
Class A – The total minimum weight shall be 550kgs, for cars built between 1/01/1997 and 31/12/2001. (Cars built from 1/01/2002 to 31/12/2004 will be a minimum total weight of 562kgs.)
Class B – The total minimum weight for all chassis shall be 540kg.
Masters Class – The total minimum weight for all chassis shall be 535kgs.
The series will be contested over a maximum of 13 races, with race and qualification periods being each of 25 minutes’ duration.
This series, format organised by Club F3 in conjunction with BRSCC, continues to give all BRSCC member a highly competitive, enjoyable, professionally promoted and cost effective, premier single seater Club F3 Series.
This unique ‘Series format’ has immediately created a great deal of interest, to the extent that almost 30 cars are currently in the process of being registered for the 2008 season, resulting in the organisers now planning for grid sizes of 20 to 22 cars.
The Club F3 organising team consists of: John Gray (Club F3 Manager), John Phillipson (Eligibility Scrutineer) Jon Gray (IT and web designer), Keith Baldwin (founder), Ian Smith (Series Coordinator).
Bernard Cottrell (BRSCC Chairman) commented: “This was the first of a series of initiatives by the BRSCC Board, designed to give BRSCC members increased value for money, well organised and better racing. I am delighted with the success of the championship during 2006 and I am sure it will continue to prove to be a great success and act as a springboard for other ‘series’ to follow and I give it my full backing.”
