Erm - Look at the Lap by Lap figures he managed a single flyer - his was consistantly well off the pace he must have cut a corner somewhere or been running a light car!

I guess his fastest lap time does stick out a little but couldn't there be a reason for this apart from cutting across a corner?

His next best lap after the fastest was a 1:16.106 which would have put him second by 0.003s. Although it might have been just one fantastic lap, it's still competitive.

Who was Stephen Kane driving for in the Scholarship class? Was Brusatin in the second Menu car? I can't see a time for him...

I think Kane was in a Performance Racing car and Brusatin wasn't out because of the amount of crash damage he had at Brands Hatch on Monday.

Hayes & Nadin are testing for their season in French F3. Kane was in the second performance racing machine (Scholarship), as they have one driver still missing, so has Fred Goddard which Turk, Jason Tahinci was testing.

Mark has always been capable of putting in the odd quick time.
I was there, and can tell you that one of the reasons for Mark being consistently near the front is that he ran 3 sets of new tyres. but like others I am slightly sceptical of that one flyer, could be a "sponsor special" run. |

whats a sponsor special when its at home?
didn't he do a few more laps after the flyer so surely he couldn't have been running that low a fuel level as someone has suggested |

MT was as Sid so rightly put it on a single lap sponsor special. And considering there was oil on the tracl left over from the previous track activites his 'stunner' was at best lucky but more likely something to do with the 3 sets of new rubber and some technical tweak. The point is and I would make it about any driver is that in F3 no-one should be able to pull out over 5/10 like that. Those skeptics amongst us would all love to be proven wrong however it is rarely the case. had he progessively built the gap then it would have been credible.

Does that mean that no one else had new sets of tyres??? As we all know Manor are a very good team is it possible they have found a slight advantage at silverstone??
Anyway, good luck to him, its good to see the championship is as competitive as it is! |

I remember reading in a previous thread that everyone thinks that people should start getting behind home talent, and as soon as someone does ickle people come out of the wood work and have bad things to say about them, I wish people would stop being such idiots and realise that some of these guys have a rare talent and we should support them for that and not put them down when every they do something.
So what if it was a so called sponsor special like a few people have said, it doesn't take anything away from his talent and honestly hands up who would do one of these specials if it meant getting a little extra money to do something you love. |

In some ways I quite agree BennyBoy, but as has been said before, generally, unless someone is consistently at the top, not too much should be read into testing times, there is no scrutineering, so no proof of cars being ballasted to full weight, or of all other performance restricting measures being fully in place.
Sponsor specials are often seen in testing, put the car in a quick, but possibly not quite kosher state to impress potential sponsors. |

ok well now I know not to take testing times at face value, but that still doesn't take anything away from the fact that Mark is a talented guy hell to be at this level is an achievement by any standards but considering he didn't do any racing whilst studying means get this far in 4 years spells out the fact his TALENTED.
I mean to finish 2nd in the FF championship in 99 and then win the european FF championship you have to be more then just good |

F3 is not F1, the cars can not carry enough fuel for a big advantage from low fuel levels, some yes but not a great deal.
Tyres, yes there is an advantage from new, but tell me who didn't have new tyres on the test, you still hav to be pretty good to get the time out of new tyres properly. Sponsor special? does MT desperately need a sponsor? I don't think he struggles for finance. He clearly can produce the times on his day as can his Team and has done so in other Formulas. |
