Action Packed Weekend Ahead

August starts brightly for the motorsport calendar as the Infinity Sports Management drivers get ready to race in a variety of locations, some for the first time in their respective championships. FIA F2 and FIA F3 return for action at Silverstone, while other ISM drivers compete at Oulton Park and Donington as well as further afield in Spain and USA.

F2 and F3 return to Silverstone
Motorsport racing returns to the home of the British Grand Prix as FIA F2 and FIA F3 get ready for the first of two weekends at Silverstone.

FIA F2 rookie Dan Ticktum finds himself fifth overall in the drivers’ standings after solid performances in the first three rounds of the season.

The last time the 21-year-old visited Silverstone for a race weekend was in 2018 when he produced an emphatic win in the first of three FIA Formula 3 European Championship races. This weekend he will try to use his experience at the circuit to produce more strong performances.

Meanwhile in FIA F3 four ISM drivers will be in action.

After celebrating his 21st birthday this week, Max Fewtrell will be looking to work on his consistent finishes for Hitech Grand Prix to make his way up the drivers’ standings.

David Beckmann enjoyed his first win of the season at the last round in Hungary and produced two podium finishes in the second round at Red Bull Ring. His Trident team-mate Olli Caldwell will be looking to get more top 10 finishes under his belt in his rookie season.

Logan Sargeant is the closest challenger to his championship leading Prema team-mate going into the Silverstone double-header. The American just missed out on a podium last time out in Hungary, and will want to keep the pressure on Oscar Piastri.

Elsewhere in England
The Formula 1 weekend at Silverstone isn’t the only racing taking place this weekend in England.

Matias Zagazeta and Christian Mansell will both be making their debuts in the opening British F4 round of the year at Donington Park for Carlin. Both the Peruvian and the Australian have enjoyed promising karting careers and have made the step up to the BTCC support series.

Meanwhile at Oulton Park, Jordan Collard will be starting off his 2020 campaign in British GT alongside team-mate Patrik Matthiesen in the HHC Motorsport McLaren GT4. Collard finished the 2019 season fourth overall in the GT4 category.

Action Overseas
Across the Atlantic at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama, Linus Lundqvist looks to carry on his electric form in the Formula Regional Americas Championship.

The Swede has swept up all five race wins from the first two rounds of the season, as well as two out of two pole positions and four out of five fastest laps.

Back in Spain, 14-year-old Aiden Neate will make his debut in the European OKJ Karting Championship at Zuera International Circuit.
