IN THE HEADLINES

SENSATIONAL START

Red Bull junior Jonny Edgar made his single-seater debut last weekend in Spanish Formula 4, taking two poles and three podiums. The 15-year-old Briton will contest

Italian F4 this year, which uses the same Tatuus chassis, and Jenzer Motorsport gave him an early debut to aid his learning. “The first time I drove a car was the end of 2018,” Edgar said. “I did

Paul Ricard to get used to the data, racing and format before [Italian F4] this weekend.”

WOMEN MAKE HISTORY

There was a historic British motorsport moment at the Aston Martin Owners Club meeting at Donington Park on April 20. For the first time, the entire scrutineering team was made up of female members, headed by chief scrutineer Sue Bateman.

Each member was given a commemorative trophy from AMOC to mark the occasion.

BRDC BRITISH F3 CORRECTION

Chris Dittmann Racing driver Ayrton Simmons retired from the second BRDC British Formula 3 race at Oulton Park due to a wheelnut failure, not a loose wheelnut as reported last week. Autosport apologises for the error.

SCHOLARSHIP RETURNS

Team Hard will run its scholarship contest again this year, with the winner receiving a fully funded season in the GT Cup in 2020.

The scholarship is open to drivers with and without a racing licence; applicants will have their driving ability, fitness and media skills tested before the best 10 will take part in a final shootout. The winner will race one of the team’s Ginetta G55s (below) in the GT Cup next year.
