Only 15 cars arrived at Oulton Park for this BP Championship round, many of the smaller teams finding that tyres at £240 a set that only lasted one race and a first prize of £100 and no start money was causing some financial headaches.

Pole position went to Kiwi driver Richard Hawkins in his March 743, Danny Sullivan was second quickest in the works Modus with the works March of Gunnar Nilsson third. Making his F3 debut in a new Modus M1 was teenager Eddie Cheever, he set the equal fifth fastest time.

Gunnar Nilsson was out before the race began when his fire extinguisher went off on the warm up lap, the Swede was baffled as he hadn’t done anything to activate it. Ribeiro needed a plug change on the grid and then found his clutch slipping badly, he sat there furiously waving his arms and hoping everyone would avoid him as the flag fell. Fortunately for the Brazilian they did and he was able to start the race albeit half a lap down on the others. Back at the front Sullivan had taken the lead and he was pulling away from the others and setting fastest lap on his way to a relatively comfortable victory. Hawkins was similarly secure in second, his team had changed the car after practice in an effort to reduce understeer and they had gone too far so he was unable to put up more of a fight against Sullivan.
There was a big battle in progress for third between Pierre Dieudonné and Ingo Hoffman with Dieudonné driving very hard to keep the Brazilian at bay but on lap 17 Hoffman made a big effort at Old Hall and dived up the inside to take the place. So after 20 laps Sullivan came home the victor from Hawkins with Hoffman keeping his third place ahead of Dieudonné, Arnott and Keegan. Ribeiro found his clutch gradually coming back but he was unable to make any progress and he was only able to finish eighth. Eddie Cheever was fifth on lap 1 and had moved up to fourth on lap 2 but almost immediately his oil pressure disappeared and he had to retire.

14 of the runners from the British GP support race rushed across the Channel overnight to take part in this round of the European Cup event, an odd choice of date and an odder venue with France no longer staging F3 racing.

There were two practice sessions on Sunday morning, the first damp and the second dry and it was Patrick Neve in the works Safir who set the quickest time ahead of Italian quick men Gaudenzio Mantova and Alessandro Pessenti-Rossi.

Larry Perkins Ralt made a superb start from the second row rocketing between the front row men and taking the lead he would hold for the rest of the race. Mantova settled into second place which he would also keep for the remaining 30 laps whilst Neve found himself battling with Pessenti-Rossi, the second Ralt of Terry Perkins and Stephen South whose start was hampered when he accidentally knocked off the ignition switch on the Ray.
Terry Perkins race was short lived, on lap 3 Fernando Spreafico tried to outbrake the Ralt and spun, Perkins braked hard and was hit up the rear by another car, possibly the March of Dyfed Roberts, the Ralt was out on the spot although Spreafico was able to continue. The rest of the race was uneventful, the tight and twisty nature of the track precluding much overtaking. Neve set fastest lap in his pursuit of Pessenti-Rossi but was unable to find a way past the Italian March.

An entry of 49 cars arrived at Silverstone to fight for the 36 grid positions available for round 10 of the BP Championship. The size of the entry was due to the race not only being a support event for the British GP but also because the Formula 1 Constructors Association had added a £2500 bonus to the normal BP prize money.
Practice was initialled scheduled to be held over two sessions on the Thursday afternoon with the fastest 18 runners from each session making the grid, however torrential rain that flooded the track ruined the second session. The session was rescheduled for late Friday and although it began on a damp surface it soon dried out completely. It was then decided on race morning that the grid would actually be decided on the fastest 36 runners overall, the majority of these runners coincidentally coming from the second group of drivers.

It was the two works Marches of Alex Ribeiro and Gunnar Nilsson who took the first two places on the grid, Ribeiro’s car featured the alloy bulkheads that had appeared on Nilsson’s car at Cadwell the previous week Additionally Ribeiro was trying F2 type deformable side pods which were supposed to be beneficial to the straight line speed, since Nilsson set the same time as Ribeiro without the pods any advantage was a moot point. Third fastest and only fractionally slower than the Marches was the works Safir of Patrick Neve who just ahead of Monza winner Larry Perkins in the works Ralt. Yet another works car was fifth, the Ray of Stephen South which featured a full width bluff nose that was reckoned to give another 300 revs at top speed.
Further back Terry Perkins was going well in what would be his first F3 race with the second works Ralt, he had practiced for a couple of other races but various circumstances had stopped him starting. Mike Wilds was making a one-off return to F3 but his practice was curtailed by a broken battery master switch that stranded him on the circuit. Danny Sullivan was not happy with some rear suspension modifications that had been made to the Modus so the car was returned to original specification for the race. Also Modus mounted was American teenager Eddie Cheever in his first F3 race, his car had to be fitted with works bodywork when his own would not fit, Cheever was taking things easy and was happy to qualify. Japanese driver Shaw Hayami was having an outing in the works GRD but was plagued with both engine and tyre troubles during practice, there was some thought of scratching for the race but it was decided in the end to take part.
Amongst the non-qualifiers was F Ford man Donald MacLeod in the GRD formerly driven by Ian Taylor, a blown Scholar engine saw him fail to make the cut as did Monaco GP F3 winner Renzo Zorzi. The Italian was now running a Novamotor Toyota Ford twin-cam in his GRD as the Lancia engine he had used at Monaco was suffering from continued head gasket problems. Had the original plan of taking 18 cars from each heat been followed, Zorzi would have made the race.

The two Marches were beaten away from the front row at the green light by Patrick Neve who timed his start to perfection, as the field arrived at Copse Nilsson slotted into second ahead of Larry Perkins and Ribeiro. As the cars completed the first lap through Abbey and into Woodcote it was still Neve from Nilsson, Ribeiro, Dick Parsons, Terry Perkins, South, Larry Perkins, Conny Ljungfeldt, Richard Hawkins, Anders Olofsson, Giancarlo Brancatelli, Piercarlo Ghinzani and the rest. Neve continued to lead for the next few laps and on lap 4 Ribeiro managed to find a way past Nilsson into the Woodcote chicane. Also on lap 4 at the chicane Parsons managed to get his Modus sideways, Terry Perkins had to lift to avoid him and was punted up the gearbox by his brother. The Ralt of Larry Perkins spun and in the melee Stephen South had the nose on his Ray damaged which saw him forced to retire. Larry Perkins was able to continue albeit down in fifteenth place whilst the three leaders found they had been given a useful lead from the now fourth place Terry Perkins. Richard Hawkins was chasing the Ralt hard in fifth followed by Brancatelli, Ingo Hoffman, a clutchless Ljungfeldt, Danny Sullivan, Ghinzani, Dieudonné and Olofsson. Parsons found the handling on his Modus beginning to deteriorate and he soon fell away from the leaders. Chris Barnett was out on lap 6 when he missed the chicane in his March and ripped off his rear wing. Neve’s lead lasted until lap 8 when Ribeiro demoted the Safir to second and on the following lap it was third as Nilsson also found a way through.
Nilsson decided to try for the lead on lap 10 and the two Marches came to the chicane side by side with the Swede outbraking the Brazilian and moving to the front. For the next few laps the two Marches swopped the lead regularly as they used each other to tow themselves clear of the chasing Neve. Ribeiro then held the lead for several laps as Nilsson was content to sit on his tail and see if the Brazilian’s reputation for making errors under pressure would once again apply. Behind the leading three Terry Perkins was beginning to find his brakes going away and was having to drive defensively to hold Hawkins back which, in turn, was allowing Brancatelli to home in on the pair of them.

Next up it was Hoffman who was under considerable pressure from Sullivan who was really flying now that he was happy with the handling of the Modus. On lap 12 Sullivan managed to outbrake Hoffman into the chicane but in an effort to stop the Brazilian, who had a faster exit speed, from retaking the place he chopped the March and the two cars banged wheels along the main straight. Unfortunately for Sullivan he badly buckled one of his rear rims causing him to retire although Hoffman got away without damage.
As the two leaders entered the last lap it was still Ribeiro ahead of Nilsson and as the two cars sped along Hanger Straight the Swede went for the front, Nilsson dived out of Ribeiro’s slipstream and took the lead under braking for Stowe. Ribeiro fought back and tried to regain the position at Club, Nilsson blocked him but lost a little speed. The Brazilian slipstreamed Nilsson through Abbey and dived for the inside as the two cars approached Woodcote, sadly for Ribeiro he had misjudged the space and with Nilsson already on the optimum line he dropped a wheel onto the grass and in an instant went spinning out of second place. Ribeiro tried to restart his engine but the battery was flat so that was it for the frustrated Alex, his only consolation being a new lap record.
A delighted Gunnar Nilsson therefore took the chequered flag ahead of the Safir of Patrick Neve, Richard Hawkins finished third after he had managed to get ahead of the brake troubled Terry Perkins at the chicane on lap 17. Perkins held onto a well deserved fourth from Giancarlo Brancatelli’s fast closing March whilst Ingo Hoffman was sixth just holding off Pierre Dieudonné. Mike Wilds F3 return was an unhappy one, his engined suffered from electrical problems and he could do no better than fifteenth at the flag.

A disappointing entry of only 15 cars made it to Cadwell Park for this the ninth round of the BP Super Visco Championship, the following weekends support race at the British GP obviously deterring several runners from attending. Fortunately most of the top runners did arrive in an effort to increase their points tally.

Pole position went to Danny Sullivan whose works Modus was fitted for the first time with a Novamotor Toyota unit, equalling the Kentucky Kid’s time was the works March of Alex Ribeiro. Championship leader Gunnar Nilsson found himself near the back of the grid with a time of 1:31.2 after an off removed the nosecone and supporting frame from his March 753 and the Swede set his time without these important items fitted. Out in his spare BAF March 743 Rupert Keegan also did much of his practice without a nose being fitted.
Non-starters for the race were Bob Arnott who broke a timing chain tensioner in the engine of his March and Tim Brise who was unhappy with the handling of his Elden and decided to give the race a miss.

Sullivan made an excellent start to lead from Ribeiro who bogged down slightly on his getaway, Chris Barnett moved into third ahead of Ingo Hoffman, Patrick Neve and Dick Parsons. Sullivan quickly opened out a gap on his pursuers and then proceeded to hold his comfortable cushion with no apparent problem. Meanwhile Ribeiro had moved clear of the others in second, Barnett was still third with Hoffman close behind, Parsons was next up with Nilsson trying to make up for his lowly grid position and looking for a way past. Neve was beginning to drop away with brake problems, he would later leave the track and leave the Safir in a ditch when the brakes locked.
Nilsson literally pushed Parsons out of the way in his efforts to get through only to find the Modus driver repeating the compliment launching the March into the air. Nilsson fell back momentarily before launching another go, however his March was now a little twitchy following its flight and on lap 5 he lost the car at Charlies. At this point the F3 cars are in top gear and the March dug into the dirt and rolled several times before coming to a halt, Nilsson was able to extricate himself from the wreck luckily without doing himself any harm.
Back at the front Hoffman had got ahead of Barnett and was now closing in on Ribeiro, he continued to close despite his engine not sounding too healthy but a spin at the bottom of the Mountain saw him drop back behind Parsons. Barnett also spun but he bent his rear wing which punctured his oil tank causing his retirement. With a lap to go Ribeiro had a moment on the dirt at Gooseneck which allowed Parsons and a fast closing Hoffman to catch up but the positions remained unchanged at the flag. Rupert Keegan’s unhappy weekend continued when he had to retire from the race with a blown head gasket.

A reasonable entry of some of the lesser lights in F3 arrived at Silverstone for this non-championship race, the grid was boosted by the addition of several FF2000 cars.

Pole man Chris Barnett was slow away from the grid when his March 753 stripped second gear which allowed Dyfed Roberts to grab the lead in his March 743. Doug Bassett slotted into second with his GRD 374 with Rupert Keegan third with his ex-Henton 743 whilst the unfortunate Barnett fell to the tail of the field. Roberts then drove sensibly without making any mistakes to win by two seconds from the similar car of Ken Silverstone who had come up to second from fourth on lap 7 after Keegan fell back and then retired with brake problems and Bassett ran wide. Silverstone chased Roberts hard all the way to the finish and both men shared a new lap record 0.4 seconds under the old mark. Barnett recovered well from his opening lap problems to finish fourth behind Bassett.
