Tom Dillmann returns to F3

This weekend starts at Hockenheim on F3 International Trophy, new championship made up of five races: Hockenheim, Pau, Spa-Francorchamps, the Zandvoort Masters, the Macau Grand Prix and South Korea. Eight-time British F3 champion, the Carlin team will field three single-seaters for the Colombian Carlos Huertas, the Malaysian Jazeman Jaafar and the Frenchman Tom Dillmann, who is participating this season in the GP3 series within Trevor Carlin's team.

“It will be nice to come back to a car of F3 for the first time since I won the German championship (in 2010, editor's note), explains the 22-year-old French pilot. However, it will be a big change for us, but I have experience of F3 and this Hockenheim circuit (he won there last year, editor's note). It will be a challenge, with tires that will be new for me and for the team. We will only have limited free practice time, so it will be tough, but we will have to give our all from the start and learn as much as possible. »

Opposite, Trevor Carlin?s team will have to be wary of the usual protagonists of the F3 Euroseries, including the French Signature team, the defending champion.
