Oliver
Turvey was the quickest driver on one of the world’s most challenging
race circuits; the 7 kilometre Spa Francorchamp track in Belgium.
Turvey posted the fastest time in both Free Practice sessions and followed
this up by claiming pole position for both Rounds 15 & 16 of the 2008
British F3 International Series
In
Round 15 things went to plan despite losing the lead to New Zealand’s
Brendon Hartley at the start of the race. Turvey fought back and
regained the lead two corners later and held on to the flag to record his
second win of the season.
In
Round 16 an engine failure on the grid caused Turvey to miss the race but
British hopes were raised as Bedford’s Nick Tandy scored his first ever
British F3 podium finish for both himself and his JTR team, finishing 3rd
behind Brendon Hartley and Mexico’s Sergio Perez.
The
next races will be held at Silverstone on Saturday 16 August and a week later
the teams head to Romania capital to race on the streets of Bucharest.
