British F3/GT at Snetterton this weekend

Snetterton to host top supercars and future F1 stars


Snetterton is revving up for one of the most diverse meetings on its 2009 calendar, with a double header visit from the British F3 and GT Championships on 4/5 July.

Carlin Motorsport's Daniel Ricciardo currently leads the standings after scoring three victories this season to date. However, with five other drivers also taking race wins - including Hitech Racing's Walter Grubmuller and JTR's Nick Tandy, who lie second and third in the championship - the title challenge remains wide open.

A host of sleek supercars including Ferraris, Porsches and Aston Martins will also take to the track, with two one-hour endurance races from the Avon Tyres British GT Championship.

The 2009 championship chase is particularly tight, as a single point separates the leading Ascari of brothers David and Godfrey Jones from the Dodge Viper of Aaron Scott and Craig Wikins.

In addition to the British F3 and GT Championships, there will also be a packed programme of support races including the Formula Palmer Audi and British Formula Ford Championships, Ginetta G20 Championship, Volkswagen Racing Series and the Heritage Grand Touring Car Challenge.
