Mandatory pit-stops will feature in British Formula 3 this weekend, with the feature hoping to spice up the show at Rockingham. The initiative is one which is backed by championship leader Jean-Eric Vergne and closest rival Oli Webb.
With BF3 sporting three races per weekend since the start of this season, the pit-stops will make their debut in the second encounter at this weekend’s Northamptonshire meeting.
“Sometimes overtaking can be difficult in Formula 3, so this will be good for the drivers and for the spectators,” Carlin’s Vergne began.
“Working out the strategy will be good for the race engineers and the experience will be helpful for the drivers as they move on to their next series - they must learn how to make a good in-lap and out-lap, without losing too much time.”
“I’m looking forward to it and I think it will be good,” added Webb, who drives for Fortec Motorsport. “There’s quite a lot more to it than at first glance, which will be good for the teams and the people in the pits - it will give them a lot to think about on the pit wall. It could make some races and also break some.”
