POLE POSITION FOR TRIMBLE IN TASMANIA
Astuti Motorsport’s Michael Trimble has had a great start to Round 2 of the Kumho Tyres Australian Formula 3 Championship for the CAMS Gold Star at Tasmania’s Symmons Plains Raceway, securing a pole position.
After a disappointing run at the Australian Grand Prix last weekend, where unfortunate luck prevented Trimble’s pace from being put to use in the races, Astuti Motorsport headed to Tasmania, looking to reverse their fortunes.
In qualifying for Race 1, Trimble steered the Kings Springs Renault-Sodemo Dallara F304 around the 2.4km layout with a best time of 50.8903 seconds. It was good enough for third place on the grid, just 0.0454 of a second shy of pole position.
Qualifying 2, and the team made further progress. The Melbournian secured pole position with a laptime of 50.9214 seconds, in a session littered with red flag disruptions.
It is Trimble’s second pole position in as many weeks - having claimed pole position for the AGP support races - and his third in the Kumho Tyres Australian Formula 3 Championship.
