- EDWARDS MAINTAINS F3 FORM IN DONINGTON QUALIFYING
-
- Young Californian Paul Edwards continued his front-running
form in the
Green Flag British Formula 3 Championship in qualifying for the
series'
third round at Donington Park. The 22-year-old claimed sixth
on the grid
for tomorrow's first race and looked set to nab third slot for
the
second counter until a slow puncture dropped him to 15th in the
session's dying laps.
-
- Coming off a pole position and podium finish at Snetterton
a fortnight
ago, Edwards was comfortably among the fastest in midweek testing
at the
sweeping Derbyshire circuit, outpacing his more experienced Alan
Docking
Racing teammate Andy Priaulx, as well as fellow Americans Alex
Gurney
and Jeffrey Jones.
-
- Commenting on today's qualifying, Edwards said, "For
the second session,
we decided to stick with our first session tyres on the drying
track, so
we have a set of new tyres for tomorrow's first race, which is
forecast
to be dry. That should help me make the most of my sixth position.
It's
supposed to rain for the second race, but the team has a really
good wet
set-up so we hope to score points in that one as well."
-
- Going into tomorrow's races, Edwards lies eighth in the British
F3
standings with 22 points in his ADR-run Dallara-Mugen, sponsored
by Doug
Mockett and Company, a US distributor of quality architectural
hardware
and fittings.
