What is the Cooper Tires British F3 International Series ?
British
Formula 3 is the leading single-seat championship for drivers wishing
to progress their career towards the ultimate goal of a race seat in
Formula 1.
Win in British
F3 and you are marked as a driver to watch. Around the world, no other
race series has produced as many Grand Prix winners and World Champions
as British F3. However, it is not just in F1 that British F3
drivers excel. The British F3 Championship Roll of Honour includes
winners of the US Champ Car and IndyCar, Indy 500 and Le Mans 24 Hours
titles
To let the
driver’s skill come to the fore, all the cars feature either similar
technical specifications, with F3 engines producing similar power:
around 210 bhp. Current F3 cars offer limited aerodynamic downforce, so
that winning comes from a combination of the car’s design, the skill of
the driver, and the expertise and professionalism of the team. The
final ingredient is the tyres: these are supplied by one manufacturer,
Cooper Tires, to restrict teams gaining any grip advantage.
British
Formula 3 features chassis from Dallara (Italian), Mygale (French) and
Litespeed (British) and engines from Mugen-Honda, Mercedes-Benz and
Volkswagon.
Young drivers
come to the UK from all over the world to race in British F3 against
the best of the current generation of racing drivers. Drivers are
coached in the subtleties of car set-up and taught the wisdom of race
craft before they move up to the next level, ultimately F1.
