Jim Russell F3 Winter Series by Simraceway – Race 2

By Jonathan Haswell In Formula 3 Racing Series

Race 2 of the Jim Russell F3 Winter Series by Simraceway saw a whole different side of mother nature as the drivers were treated to a clear and dry (well, dry-ish!) Sonoma Raceway.

 

Another tight qualifying battle saw the top two, John Jastremski and Chase Murray, fight it out for the entire session–both risking taking the edge of their Pirelli slicks for the race but seeing that P1 start as an important part of standing taller on the podium at the end of the day. Unfortunately an error at turn 2 late in practice meant that Roy Strandberg could not finish off his weekend, but some good strides in competitiveness will give him something positive to build from as the Winter Series continues at Laguna Seca in the New Year.
