Well Done to Gary. The best driver all season, but that guy Timo Glock looks mega-quick. Was he the BMW ADAC champion last year? Anyway, I think he'll be a major title contender next year.

I've seen Gary race since he was a Cadet karter, nice to see these lads getting the backing to back up their determination to succeed to the top level of single seater racing.
Gary is quoted as saying in Motorsport News that the German F3 series is the most competitive F3 Championship...Would Robbie Kerr and Co agree with that? Sorry Gary but whenever drivers from the British series take on the European drivers in FIA Euro Cup events they usually walk away with them! |

Well they say that the British series is the most competetive series, but the German series is certaily not a joy ride....well done to Gary ...good stuff . Not very many F1 openings at the moment though .

Possibly this year may have been a little different , but even this year , there has been plenty of talent in there.

The main problem of "German" front-runners in international races is that they use an Opel engine, which isn't as good as the Mugen/Honda or the Renault.

honda is stronger than opel that´s definately true, but I dont think that renault is better than opel, last year gary had an renault engine at the beginning of the season when he changed to opel he was much better

This year's Renault engine was very good... look at the results of Zandvoort Masters :
1. Carbone (Dallara-Renault) 2. Pla (Dallara-Renault) 3. Gommendy (Dallara-Renault) 4. Kovalainen (Dallara-Renault) 5. Bremer (Dallara-Mugen) 6. Besson (Dallara-Renault) 7. Kerr (Dallara-Mugen) 8. Liuzzi (Dallara-Opel) 9. Jouanny (Dallara-Mugen) 10. James Courtney (Dallara-Mugen) Last edited by Shunt the Hunt; 20 Oct 2002 at 15:39. |

gary paffet
Gary's problems last year were suspension related and not engine. But he gave Renault their first win in the German series.
