Nasr takes first poles at Brands Hatch

25 September 2010

Following up from his rapid pace in Rockingham testing earlier this week, Brazil’s Felipe Nasr has clichéd the final British Formula 3 pole positions of the year at Brands Hatch on Saturday morning. The Räikkönen Robertson driver will share this afternoon’s Race 1 front row with Carlin man and leading Briton James Calado.

Brands Hatch in Kent marks the final meeting for this year’s season - Rounds 28, 29 and 30. With qualifying setting the grid positions for two of those races, Double R and Carlin lead the way as Williams Buller and Daniel McKenzie, of Hitech and Fortec respectively, confirm four teams in the top four places.

With a second Fortec of Oli Webb making the top five, as have three of his compatriots, Champion Jean-Eric Vergne has posted the sixth-best effort for Carlin with other British drivers Rupert Svendsen-Cook, Jay Bridger and Alex Brundle 10th, 12th and 14th.

However, it is the National Class battle which is yet to be sewn up and of the two T-Sport team-mates contending for honours Bahrain’s Menasheh Idafar is some eight tenths of a second quicker than Britain’s James Cole – the pair have registered respective finishing positions of 15th and 19th overall.
