F3 - qualifying from Oulton - very strange!

[Francesca]

Robert Dahlgren has put his scholarship class car on pole position for race 2 - this is a first in the history of the series.

Race One

Heikki Kovalainen has continued his good form by nabbing pole position for Race One tomorrow and the amazing Adam Carroll, who is likely to take the scholarship crown this weekend, will start from second on the grid. Kerr is down in 11th!

thats amazing ! 2 scholarship cars on the front row over 2 races .

i was just going to look at MST for the times , so im glad you ve put them on here.

Good old Adam does it again . He has looked first class this year !

[Morcilman]

that is great I just love to see unspected things happen. The question is why, That means the the 2001 car is better that the 2002? it probably does. What is your oppinion

Full report on site http://www.britishsingleseaters.cjb.net

The first session was down to the fact that the Scholarship Class cars ran in much cooler conditions than the Championship Class so we were told so we all expected things to return to usual for the second session but then Dahlgren goes and sticks it on pole.

I think the teams have said all along that they prefer the old car and perhaps its just much harder to set up at Oulton than most circuits whilst the Scholarship Class cars will already have three years experience.

Whatever it makes tomorrow very interesting indeed.

I doubt it..... boring slotcars!

[Gaz]

We'll see. Yes not all F3 races are entertaining I agree but when they are they are superb, the two Rockigham rounds were some of the best racing I've seen this season in any form of racing.

If your not interested in it then don't post is all I have to say. Post in a forum where you are. I'm not a fan or touring cars anymore. I find them boring and un-interesting but I wouldn't go in their forum slagging them off. Some people find F3 interesting some don't. I will find tomorrows race interesting if you don't, each to there own.

Really odd qualifying. SHould be good races.

Interested or not, I am involved! I also have a sense of humour!

Wouldn't the world be a boring place if we all agreed on everything & only the uncritical were allowed to post in a forum?

What happened to Michael Keohane?

[Gaz]

Keohane tested yesterday but has gone back to be with his ill farther.

As for Dave, yes I also have a sense of humour and when somethings funny I laugh, your comment wasn't it was just slagging off a series which I'm a fan of. I'm sure if I started slagging off say mini's you'd have a word or two to say.

Yes the world would be a boring place if everyone agreed, this forum though is to discuss single seater racing not slag it off. Your obviously not interested in this type of racing so why bother posting. It's not as if any of us really want to hear your ravings about slot car racing as you call it.

I am interested in all types of racing. I also have the ability to take a dispassionate look at the racing I see; if I find a particular class, or an individual race, boring, I will say so. Others may not agree with me; I respect their opinions.

It's not as if any of us really want to hear your ravings about slot car racing as you call it.

Please point out to me anything I have posted which could in any way be construed as raving.
