Hi-Tech Leads the Way in Snetterton F3 Test

04 May 2007

Championship leading Hitech Racing underlined its domination of the 2007 Lloyds TSB Insurance British Formula 3 International Series by topping the times in the two-day test at Snetterton this week, posting the quickest ever F3 lap at the Norfolk track.

Estonian Asmer, who currently leads the 22-round series by 34 points after winning three of the opening four rounds, posted the quickest time of the two days in yesterday morning’s three-hour session, which could not be improved upon in the afternoon. His time of 1:00.643 saw the 22 year-old lap the 1.9 mile track at an average speed of 115.86mph and fired a warning shot to his rivals ahead of the Snetterton round next month.

His team-mate Austrian Walter Grubmüller lost two hours in the afternoon with a clutch bearing problem but the 18 year-old F3 rookie recovered well to post the ninth quickest time overall. The teenager, in his first season in the series, has improved at every outing leaving team principal David Hayle delighted with the performance of his young charge.
