Formula 3 Return To Sydney Motorsport Park For Bumper Shannons Nationals.

Formula 3. (C)

    Is Sebastian Vettel already in an unassailable position for this year's Formula One championship? Can anyone stop Jamie Whincup's relentless march to yet another V8 Supercar crown? Both no doubt answered as their respective seasons come to fruition. 
    Well if you're a fan of Australian open wheel racing, you may be asking if Tim Macrow can extend his lead over John Magro and Nick Foster in the 2013 Formula 3 Australian Driver's Championship as Round 4 forms part of a huge Shannons Nationals programme on 13th-14th July at Sydney Motorsport Park? Australia's fastest racing cars contest two races on Saturday and a feature race on Sunday. Complementing F3 will be mini enduros from the Radical Australia Cup, Australian Swift Racing Series and Australian GT Championship featuring exotic marques like Ferrari, Mercedes and Lamborghini, a 3 hour enduro for the Australian Manufacturers Championship, and Porsche GT-3 Cup. Massive!
    Formula 3 has done an excellent job in promoting its brand. They recently supported V8 Supercars at Symmons Plains, Tasmania for Rd 2, and this weekend at Hidden Valley for Rd 3 racing for the City Of Darwin Cup. Tim Macrow led home Nick Foster in an incident filled Race 1, with positions reversed for Race 2. The F3ADC is certainly hotting up and by supporting V8 Supercars have increased exposure to a potential new fanbase. Multimedia has also been ramped up. For online savvy punters, the remaining rounds will all be streamed live via itvlive.com.au. Free to air punters can enjoy increased TV coverage on SBS Speedweek, whilst pay TV folk can enjoy F3 via Fox's Speed TV which is worldwide. 
    At formulafrontrow.com we love all forms of motorsport, but we especially love open wheelers. Can't help but wonder how cool it would be to have our premier open wheel category, F3, back on the support bill for the pinnacle of motorsport, F1, at the Australian GP. After attending Rd 1 as part of the Bathurst Motor Festival at Mt Panorama, we wait with great anticipation to see F3 again around the sweeping, long radius corners of Sydney Motorsport Park. Bring the kids, a picnic lunch, drive straight in to the circuit precinct, and don't forget your cameras. Cheers....
