OK girls! the gloves are off!

Who will be the team most likely to win the F3 championship in 2003

I have listed the obvious in my poll list, and some new names! BUT

give more info if you know better!

Go too it!

*formula3* · 2 Jan 2003, 10:59 (Ref:461904)

voted for carlin, but i think it willbe close between them and ADR

Mathias · 2 Jan 2003, 13:49 (Ref:462049)

Hmmm... I have a bit of a problem with this, and forgive my ignorance, but when adding up the points a team gets, is any compensation made for some teams entering 4 cars and others having only 1?

If there isn't, then, unless they perform appallingly badly, surely Carlin must win with 4 cars?

However, I'd like to think that with Champ class cars, Sweeney will p

ss all over the Championship class opposition (just like they did with Scholarship class cars last year!).

Russfeld · 2 Jan 2003, 13:54 (Ref:462059)

Are Sweeny still thinking of running the Lola?

And without drivers listed its hard to say. Im expecting big things from Will Davison and ADR though.

Mathias · 2 Jan 2003, 14:00 (Ref:462065)

Last I heard that's right.

Adam had a good test with Lola.

That will p

ss me off though, cos every time I see that name I get a Barry Manilow song in my head. Could be worse I suppose.

But not much.

Mathias · 2 Jan 2003, 14:02 (Ref:462066)

PS String, mate... interesting selection of teams...

windup1 · 2 Jan 2003, 17:03 (Ref:462157)

I was thinking the same....Manor, What did they do last year.?
I wonder how Fortec will do now David Hayle has left to set up Hitech.
Diamond..........? Come on.....!
Where are Promatecme and Menu.?

Muppet · 2 Jan 2003, 18:07 (Ref:462190)

Piquet Sport? (guess that's the Diamond link)

String · 2 Jan 2003, 20:05 (Ref:462257)

Bummer! I knew there was another I should have included, Promatecme was the one I couldn't remember, and Menu???....... Yes, but again not really done a great deal of news making, but again I suppose I should have included them too. I did think about Sweeney, but I was not sure if they were going to make the move up or not. I just tried to stick to the known and the most recent possible new cat-amongst-the-pigions teams!! The list could end up being quite long, so tick the OTHER box and leave a message.......er.......rather like you have done!!! Right I'll shut up now.

And yes I was thinking of Piquet as Diamond, still not sure if that is a done deal for a buy out!

Don't be so quick to write off Manor, John Booth's team could be right up the front, depending on choice of driver! The team is pretty good.

P.S.
Once we know who is driving for who, I'll do another poll for men most likely drivers championship winning thing!

I Voted for Carlin, I expect Ronnie Bremer to be a frondrunner. ADR could do well with Speed and Davison, but both are young and it is their first year in the F3 series. I don't know much about the other teams yet.

Russfeld · 3 Jan 2003, 16:24 (Ref:462840)

If Sweeny are running a Lola I wont rate their chances very highly. So far we've only seen what they were able to do in Class B with a well sorted car. There are a lot of race teams that can prepare a fast car well, but very few that can develop one.

El_Gibleto · 3 Jan 2003, 18:03 (Ref:462911)

What about Stefan De Groot at ADR, anyone who can get a Menu car onto the podium on his first visit to a circuit mus have some talent.

Mekola · 3 Jan 2003, 19:44 (Ref:462998)

I expected that Carlin could be the best team, but I'm not sure if his activities in TWS could alter the efectiveness of the team in British F3.

Lisboa · 4 Jan 2003, 00:37 (Ref:463267)

Fortec is an empty box, everybody is out! Docking on top was a miracle of 2002, and a miracle never happen every year. MAnor is quite good, but at the momement they don't have racing drivers at all! (Fabi, piccione...come'on...) So, i think Carlin this year will win 80% of the races! It's the best team in the world (only one man can beat him, but this man has no money..at the moment)

Fiorentina 1 · 4 Jan 2003, 06:51 (Ref:463348)

Scott Speed & ADR!!!!!!!!

Muppet · 4 Jan 2003, 11:17 (Ref:463440)

I think David Hayles new team will surprise everyone and win first time out! ;-)
