Maurice Slotine
He had a heart of gold, was always up for some fun and last raced with us just four weeks ago in Dijon - we are deeply shocked to learn of the death of our dear friend Maurice Slotine and our thoughts are with his wife Claudine and their family. Maurice raced his Merlyn for over 35 years, was the first Historic F3 1000cc European Trophy champion and has been a core supporter ever since. Cher M. Cailloux, nous t'embrassons très fort - tu nous manques énormément !

We intend to open our entry system early next year and all campaign contributors which opted for the discounted entry fee will be guaranteed a place on the grid. Stay tuned - Belgium 
will hear us scream in 2025!
Dijon Motors Cup
Four competitors travelling to the season finale at Dijon still had a reasonable chance to win the 2024 championship, but the clear favorite was Andrew Hibberd. And he did not disappoint - securing pole position three tenths of a second ahead of Peter De La Roche in qualifying - the two being in a league of their own. Behind, a closely matched group of five pilots were led by Derossi, ahead of Drybrough, Fischer, Carter and Widmer, while Sharp, Blees and Ingwiller rounded out the top ten.
Conditions were a bit chilly but otherwise perfect when the lights went off for the start of race one on early Saturday morning. De La Roche and Hibberd started to distance themselves quite quickly from the rest of the field and delivered a fantastic race, trading positions time and again. The question remained, whether we would see yet another epic multi-car slip-stream battle for P3? It was not to be, as Carter spun on the opening lap, an over-eager Drybrough was sent through the pit-lane for a false start, and Widmer was forced to retire on lap two when second and third gear engaged at the same time due to a broken selector shaft. Fischer enjoyed his Tecno on a new set of tyres and managed to distance Derossi step by step, while Carter and Jason Timms worked their way through the field. De La Roche had hoped to sling-shot past Hibberd on the final lap towards the finish line, but did not factor in that Hibberd would get a good tow from Blees. The leading pair thus crossed the finish line just two tenths apart after 21 minutes, less than their margin in qualifying over one lap, with the better end going to Hibberd ahead of De La Roche, who in turn set fastest lap. Fischer was well ahead to complete the podium ahead of Derossi, Drybrough, Sharp, Carter and Blees. The rest of Saturday as well as most of Sunday morning saw quite a lot of mechanical work ongoing, with Ingwiller having to replace crown wheel, pinion and differential, the father and son team of Jeremy and Calvin Bennett rebuilding Timms' engine in-situ, and Widmer tending to his gearbox with the help of son Calvin, Iain Rowley, Richard De La Roche as well as his Swiss based mechanic Heinz Hunziker, who travelled to Dijon early Sunday morning.
The traditional apéro on Saturday evening was dedicated to our late competitor Werner Pircher. In presence of Werner's wife Hanja, Austin Widmer held a moving tribute in remembrance of Werner, who was a role model in many ways and had enabled him to race in the first place, while fellow competitors laid down their helmets and paused for a minute of silence. All mechanical work was finished in time for the race on Sunday afternoon, such that 18 cars, one more than the day before, gathered in the assembly area as dark clouds appeared on the horizon and teased with occasional light sprinkles. Everyone decided to go out on dry tyres, but already on the warmup lap, it became clear that this was not necessarily the best choice. At the start Drybrough, who already spun on the warmup lap, did the same in turn one, causing a chain reaction throughout the field, claiming Tart and Fischer as innocent victims, moving Derossi to the back of the field, and bringing out the safety car for two laps. Once all was cleared, Hibberd started to pull away from De La Roche, but, as the rain intensified, was a bit too optimistic at Bretelle on lap six and produced an impressive spin right in front of the majority of spectators, allowing De La Roche to take the lead, which he never gave up and brought home the Alexis for its first win ever. Behind, Hibberd safely brought the Brabham home in P2, ahead of an ecstatic Sharp. Carter, securing third place in the British HF3 championship, and Derossi were the last cars to finish the race on the leading lap, while Ingwiller, briefly on P3, was rewarded with P6 for his mechanical skills and persistence.
A dominant Andrew Hibberd 
had the near perfect season and wins the 2024 Historic F3 1000cc European Trophy ahead of Peter De La Roche and François Derossi 
! Results and pictures are online. As to the video, this time, we chose Martin Whitlock's very positive summary for everyone to see what our racing is all about. Congratulations to all competitors who raced in our series - we're looking forward to seeing you in Lyon next month.
Oulton Park Gold Cup
Racing at Oulton Park is always special, but even more so, when competing for 70th edition of the highly prestigious Gold Cup which in period was won by greats such as Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, Jack Brabham, John Surtees, Jackie Stewart, Jacky Ickx and Denny Hulme - which competitor wouldn't like to see his name added to that list! Six competitors from the continent joined their British friends and in qualifying it was Michael O'Brien claiming pole ahead of Hibberd and De La Roche. They were followed by the continental trio of Spaggiari, Derossi and Christoph Widmer, with series newcomer Shortland, Hamilton, Sharp and Austin Widmer rounding out the top ten. Unfortunately, the race on Saturday was red flagged even before all competitors came around the first corner at Old Hall. Steve Nichols spun near the start finish line, crashed backwards into the barriers, and came to a halt upside down. Evading action triggered a chain reaction further up the field, putting an end to the race for Pearce, Haughton and Whitlock. Luckily, nobody was hurt, and Steve was quickly released after a check at the medical center. De La Roche was forced to retire due to a broken distributor finger immediately after racing had resumed, briefly bringing out the safety car for one lap. Thereafter, O'Brien started to extend his lead from Hibberd and Spaggiari up to 7 seconds, but a clutch failure forced him to complete the last two laps in third gear, thus handing the win to Hibberd, ahead of O'Brien and Spaggiari who had an excellent weekend all around. Derossi came home fourth, passing Widmer on the last lap when the later misread a bright LED panel in the distance as yellow rather than it being a warning for changed track conditions, followed by Carter, Sharp, Seaman, Tart and Bosson in P10. Mechanics, competitors and friends alike enjoyed a great apéro and barbeque in splendid weather on Saturday evening - certainly one of the highlights of the weekend. On Sunday morning, 20 cars were all neatly lined up in the pit lane for the public to enjoy - the eyes of some lucky kids definitely lit up as they had a chance to sit in one of the historic screamers. O'Brien was determined to compensate his 12 second deficit from Saturday to still claim the prestigious trophy. And he nearly managed to do so, having built up a 10 second advantage over Hibberd with five minutes to go. But it just wasn't his weekend as he made contact while lapping the Brabham of UK series chairman Etherington, sending both cars into the barriers and prematurely ending the race with a red flag. For a second time, the win fell into Hibberds hands with Spaggiari and De La Roche, starting from the back of the grid, completing the podium. Widmer finished fourth ahead of Derossi and Carter. Swedish racer Bosson came home in P10 while unfortunately, the electric problems on the De Santics once again forced Austin Widmer to retire, this time on the opening lap. Werner Pircher very much enjoyed seeing the checkered flag one final time, RIP, we will miss you! On aggregate results, Hibberd added his name to the illustrious list while Spaggiari and Derossi were very happy to celebrate their great weekend on the Gold Cup podium. Results and pictures are online, video will follow.
Ciao Werner
It is with a heavy heart that we have to let you know that Werner Pircher passed away last night, finally losing his long battle with cancer, but only after achieving his goal of finishing both races at the Oulton Park Gold Cup less than 72 hours earlier, and coming third in the Nations Cup a fortnight ago. Werner was a true friend and role model in many ways, but especially when it came to supporting and advising the younger generations. He was a man with an unparalleled determination and an incredible passion for Historic F3, his pristinely prepared Lotus, and our series. Our sincere condolences go to his much loved Hanja and family.
Brands Hatch Superprix
The 2024 championship season finally kicked off at the Brands Hatch Superprix with 28 competitors from France , Italy 
, Germany 
, Sweden 
, Switzerland 
, UK and the USA 
competing for the King Hussein Trophy as well as the Nations Cup. Michael O'Brien was quickest in qualifying ahead of Milicevic, Hibberd, Drybrough and Jason Timms. Enrico Spaggiari was fastest pilot from the continent while Trott, Widmer, Derossi and Jarvis rounded out the top ten. In the first race on Saturday, Milicevic had the best start and narrowly lead O'Brien and Hibberd while Drybrough, Spaggiari and Jason Timms slotted into P4 to P6, respectively. O'Brien had to retire his Tecno on lap four with gear linkage issues, thus leaving Hibberd and Milicevic to battle for the lead alone, with Hibberd eventually getting the better end. Behind, Derossi and Christoph Widmer, who was quite surprised to see his son Austin large in his mirrors for a number of laps, had an entertaining race-long battle, which finally went in favor of the Swiss in P6, Derossi in P7 and Austin, achieving his best result so far, in P8 ahead of Hamilton and Ingwiller. After the race, series returnee Max Blees and his wife Elena organized a splendid apéro with the help of their German Nations Cup team mate Roland Fischer and his partner Inga. Before enjoying drinks, the drivers laid down their helmets for a minute of silence in honour and memory of Jim Timms, who peacefully passed away earlier in the week. Quite extra-ordinarily, all 28 drivers lined up for the start of the second race on Sunday, testimony to the improved reliability of our screamers! Hibberd led initially from Milicevic and O'Brien, but Milicevic had to let the lead pair go as his water temperature started to rise. O'Brien briefly took the lead on the fifth lap only to park his car in the gravel at Sterlings on the following lap, thus handing the double win and King Hussein Trophy to Hibberd, while Milicevic and Drybrough completed the podium. Spaggiari came home a lonely fourth while Widmer and Derossi continued their closely matched dice from race one, the two crossing the finish line side by side with Widmer edging Derossi by a mere 15 hundreds of a second. Team Great Britain (A) with Hibberd, Milicevic and Carter deservedly won the Nations Cup ahead of Team Italy with Spaggiari and Hamilton. Team Switzerland with the two Widmers and Pircher came third, and Team France with Derossi and Ingwiller ended up fourth. It was great to once again race on the Brands Hatch GP circuit, and even better, as we were allowed to race unsilenced! Results, pictures and video are all online.

Thank you, Jim!
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jim Timms earlier today. Jim had a unique personality, was a great family man, a fantastic supporter of the Historic F3 1000cc European Trophy and a great inspiration for us all, showing what is still possible when competing with us just two years ago in Portimão, racing at the Monaco Historic GP last year and even at the Oulton Park Gold Cup for his final race. A true legend has left us. Thank you Jim, you will be missed but not forgotten!
Goodwood 81st Members' Meeting
Nine continental pilots, four Swiss , three French , one Italian and one Swedish screamer joined twenty-one UK colleagues to compete in the Derek Bell Cup at the 81st Members' Meeting at Goodwood! It was no surprise that GT professional racer Michael O'Brien in the freshly restored Titan Mk3 claimed pole, ahead of the Alexis of Peter De La Roche and the Brabham duo of previous Derek Bell Cup winners Andrew Hibberd and Jon Milicevic. Enrico Spaggiari in his immaculate Lotus 41X was quickest continental driver in P5, ahead of Dan Eagling in the ex Picko Troberg Brabham and the Timms cousins while Thomas Jamin and Christoph Widmer rounded out the top ten. Austin Widmer in Paul Waine's DeSanctis qualified well on P16, Ludovic Ingwiller in the Pygmée followed on P19 ahead of Derossi, who struggled with a perfect storm of gearbox, clutch and engine issues, Pircher, Bosson and Burkard. Prior to the race on Sunday morning, Derek Bell personally piloted the ex Jackie Stewart Cooper in period livery including original "roll hoop" around the track - what better way to set the stage for the Derek Bell Cup! De La Roche had the best start and led the field ahead of Hibberd while pole sitter O'Brien dropped back a few places, as he seemingly chose a first gear ratio more suitable for the chicane rather than a standing start. The trio put on a wonderful show over the first three laps, titled as "maximum attack" by Goodwood on their race highlights video. Unfortunately, the race had to be red flagged when a very unlucky Jeremy Timms found himself in the tyre wall after hitting oil from a disintegrated engine as he entered Madwick - luckily, and much to the relieve of all the other competitors, the bruised pilot was released back to the paddock after a thorough check at the medical center. The remaining competitors lined up again on the grid for another standing start and just like in take one, pole sitter O'Brien initially dropped back a few places. However, by end of lap one, he had things all sorted, never looked back and brought home the Titan well clear of the rest and in process set an impressive fastest lap of 1:21.8 - about a second quicker than the previous Historic F3 lap record at Goodwood. Meanwhile, Hibberd and De La Roche entertained the crowd with a great fight for second place, equally improving their personal best and creating wonderful advertising for our series, in the end crossing the finish line just one tenth of a second apart. Jason Timms drove very well in his debut at Goodwood and upheld family honours in P4, ahead of Italian Enrico Spaggiari as best continental pilot and the Brabham of Swiss Christoph Widmer . The Chevron of former F1 designer Steve Nichols led a closely matched slip-stream train, nine cars separated by an equal amount of seconds, which included Frenchmen Ludovic Ingwiller as third continental pilot on P11, Swiss Austin Widmer on P13 and French Thomas Jamin in P15. It was fantastic to see this splendid grid of 30 cars, a priviledge to be present at the Members' Meeting with all these wonderful grids and a great weekend overall. Results,

2024 Calendar
We will join the British One Litre F3 Historic Racing Association for our Annual Award Dinner to celebrate our UK-based 2023 champion Samuel Harrison. The event kicks off our 60th Anniversary Celebration and will take place at the Ardencote Manor Hotel in Warwickshire on Saturday 24th February 2024. Race Retro will be on the same weekend and can easily be combined. Award Dinner sold out! The racing season will begin at the 81st Members' Meeting at Goodwood in mid April with a non-championship event. Planning the 2024 calendar proved to be exceptionally difficult, especially as Spa Summer Classic takes place at a highly unusual date in late April, forcing us to post-pone our race on this legendary track to 2025. As we did not succeed in finding a reasonable replacement event in May or June, the European trophy will only get into full swing in July, first with the Nations Cup on the GP track at Brands Hatch Superprix and then as the signature race at the Oulton Park Gold Cup two weeks later - two fantastic events and a great opportunity to spend some holidays in the UK. Our season will conclude with a stand-alone double header at the Motors Cup in Dijon-Prenois at the beginning of October. Double-points will be awarded for the two races at the season finale in Dijon to balance the number of points distributed on the continent and abroad - this should help ensuring that the championship is likely decided only once the checkered flag drops on the last race of the season. And in order to finish our 60th screamer anniversary racing in style, we plan to celebrate our 2024 champion with some fine dining combined with a large screamer exhibition at Epoqu'Auto in Lyon - make sure your car is all polished and ready for display over the weekend on the show floor!
Goodwood 81st Members' Meeting
It's now officially confirmed - we'll scream once again in the Derek Bell Cup at the 81st Members' Meeting at Goodwood on the weekend of April 13/14, 2024! The Time Table and the Entry List have now been published, for all the races and other information, have a look at the official 81MM website.
Magny-Cours Historic Tour
Five hard-core screamer enthusiasts and their support teams joined 22 French Historic Formula Ford competitors for the final event of the 2023 season at Magny-Cours in central France. They were rewarded with a great circuit, even better company and glorious weather all weekend. Qualifying on Saturday morning started very early, and thus engines were warmed up well before sunrise, probably not to the delight of competitors from other series. Derossi was quickest, claiming pole ahead of Widmer and Ingwiller, followed by Fischer, who struggled with a gear selection issue, and Pircher, racing for the first time on this track. Ingwiller had a fantastic start in the first race on Saturday afternoon, gaining an impressive six places overall on the opening lap, as did Fischer, moving up seven places, while Widmer wasn't quite awake yet and dropped back by four. However, The Brabham driver managed to pass Ingwiller after a small mistake on the second lap and the trio started to slowly reel in Derossi and enjoyed a good tussle for about eight laps, until Derossi's Chevron started have some issues, first with the brakes and then also with gear selection. In the end, Widmer managed to break free, wining the race ahead of Fischer and Ingwiller, while Derossi managed to limp home ahead of Pircher. The highlight of the weekend though were some fantastic dinners, especially on Saturday evening at a former chateaux in the country side - a true delight! The second race on Sunday was started based on the final classification from the day before, so Derossi had some work to do as his starting position was moved back considerably, while all others moved forward. This time around, there were no substantial changes at the start and Widmer had Fischer and Ingwiller breathing down his gearbox as the safety car came out on the second lap. Fischer's Tecno apparently still had some cold tyres as the safety pulled in, sending him into a spin at the chicane in front of the grand stand even before crossing the safety car line, moving him all the way to the back of the field and thus allowing Widmer to break free. Ingwiller lost the nose cone of his Pygmée on lap seven, forcing him to retire the car, while Derossi started to move up the order, his eyes seeking Widmer's Brabham in the distance as the race clock ticked down. Derossi did set fastest lap in the process, but his handicap proved a bit too much, thus allowing Widmer to celebrate his second victory of the weekend, this time ahead of Derossi and Fischer. The important part however was that everyone thoroughly enjoyed the racing and company - spirits where high and smiles could be seen all around - and the season end was duly celebrated with a glass of champagne - just a brilliant weekend. Results, pictures video are online.

Oulton Park Gold Cup
What a fantastic event this was! The 2023 edition of the Gold Cup, set in a spectacular lush park, was even nicer than in previous years and attracted a large classic car loving crowd. Our screamer race for the Sir Jackie Stewart Trophy was one of the feature races and competitors were rewarded with pit garages for their strong grids at Zandvoort, Brands Hatch and Oulton Park. Just as had been the case all season long, no one came even close to matching the speed of Samuel Harrison - it was another flawless "grand slam" weekend for the 19-year old racing driver from Ripon, North Yorkshire. So, with six wins in as many races, he has already secured his first Historic F3 1000cc European Trophy championship with one event still to go - impressive! Jason Timms was second in qualifying, ahead of De La Roche, Eagling, in the freshly restored ex-Troberg BT18, and Jeremy Timms, who struggled with ignition timing. Derossi was fastest continental driver, just ahead of Widmer, Hamilton, Jarvis and Nichols. Jason Timms had the best start on Saturday morning and lead the pack through Old Hall and Cascades, but Harrison quickly corrected that and lead comfortably by the end of lap one. The battle for second however was fierce - the Timms cousins and De La Roche fighting hard, giving each other just minimal amount of space. Behind, Eagling, Derossi, Jarvis, Widmer and Hamilton fought for fifth place, until Eagling spun at Lodge and decided to retire the car. The next closely matched group was that of Sharp, racing on his home-track 61 years after first going to the Gold Cup with his father, Wise, Tart and Nichols. Unluckily, Jason Timms spun on lap nine at Old Hall and found himself behind Jarvis, Derossi and Widmer for half a lap, because his engine had taken its time to start again. In the end, it was a clear victory for Harrison, while De La Roche narrowly edged out Jeremy Timms for second. One of the highlights was the Sunday morning pit lane walk for the public. To see 25 screamers all nicely line-up in the pit lane with large crowds gathering all around was just wonderful to experience - there couldn't have been better advertising for our series. In the second race, Harrison never looked back, while the Timms cousins retained a firm grip on the remaining podium places, only shadowed by De La Roche for the first half of the race until he was forced to retire. Widmer initially led a tight train with Derossi and Jarvis glued to his exhaust. Eventually the two blue cars got ahead of the Brabham after a small mistake at the first chicane and started to build a small gap. However, Derossi slightly overdid it at Cascades on lap nine, allowing Widmer to close in. The continental pair then started to hunt down Jarvis, but time ran out, the three taking places four to six, just ahead of the mighty Tecno battle of Hamilton and Wise. Austin Widmer, in Paul Waine's DeSanctis, had to start all the way from the back as he had been the first retirement in race one. With the gearbox problem sorted, the young driver from Switzerland felt increasingly comfortable in the "mini Ferrari" and constantly improved his lap times, gaining 11 places in as many laps. Jim Timms gave a brief comeback from retirement, supporting our series possibly for one last time, as he said after the race, his heart wasn't quite in it. Smiles could be seen all around at price giving - the Gold Cup certainly proved well worth traveling up North, not least due to a fabulous drinks and food apéro provided by Anne and Peter Hamilton on Saturday. We very much hope to return again soon. Results, pictures and video are online.

Brands Hatch Superprix
The screamers once again delivered the largest grid at the Legends of Brands Hatch Superprix with 31 competitors from Argentina 
, France , Germany , Sweden , Switzerland , UK and the USA all enjoying the fantastic Grand Prix circuit. Most practice sessions on Friday were on a wet track, but on Saturday competitors once again switched back to dry tyres. As expected, Samuel Harrison set fastest lap in qualifying, however, P2 was a close race between Peter De La Roche, Jeremy Timms, Andrew Hibberd, Jason Timms and Richard Trott - all very experienced racers with many laps under their belts. The next group was 2 seconds back, but again, Drybrough, in the ex-Methley Merlyn, Jarvis, Widmer, Derossi, Armer and Fischer were all closely matched. Unfortunately, the weekend ended prematurely after qualifying for French competitor Slotine due to a broken drive shaft. The biggest surprise however was when the continental competitors returned to the paddock after qualifying, only to find six tents completely destroyed by a very strong wind gust that lifted them up over the trailers and catapulted a 10 kg weight more than 14 meters through the side window of Slotine's car parked behind. Luckily no one was injured. In the first race on Saturday, Harrison never looked back and realized his third consecutive win of the season. Jeremy Timms was in P2 for most of the race while Hibberd, De La Roche, Trott and Jason Timms battled for third, however, Hibberd and De La Roche, setting fastest lap in the process, managed to squeeze by Jeremy just before the safety car came out after a spin and minor contact with the barrier by Messer at Surtees. Derossi was fastest continental driver ahead of Widmer and Fischer. The two father son pairs of Widmer and Hamilton deserve a notable mention, with young Sam Hamilton making a welcome debut in the Historic F3 1000cc European Trophy in his father's Lotus 51, while Austin Widmer, driving in what Marcus Pye called Paul Waine's "mini Ferrari", did well until he started to struggle with a slippery clutch. Saturday was rounded up with a fantastic BBQ, once again expertly organized by team Sergison. Jeremy Bennet and Mark Linstone took the occasion to present Keith Messer with a gigantic personalized clock, to thank and honor him for his achievements over all these years and his tireless work emphasizing the friendship and social side of our series. The second race on Sunday very quickly brought out the safety car as Fischer was forced to evade Derossi on paddock hill bend and in the process made contact with an unlucky Josh Sharp, who ended up in the gravel trap with no fault on his part. Once the safety car pulled in, Harrison's Brabham BT21 started to pull away in usual fashion, ahead of Jeremy Timms, Hibberd, Jason Timms and De La Roche. Hibberd dropped back on the last two laps, allowing Jason Timms to join his cousin on the podium. Overall it was another great weekend with smiles all around despite somewhat stormy conditions. Results, pictures and video are now online.

Zandvoort Historic GP
Twenty seven competitors from six nations travelled to sunny Netherlands 
for one of the most prestigious historic race events on the continent and a fantastic track for our cars. Despite some issues with the gear linkage, Samuel Harrison proved once again that he is in a class of his own and secured pole position 2.5 seconds ahead of Jeremy Timms and nearly 5 seconds ahead of Derossi. Jason Timms ran strong in qualifying, well clear of Fischer, Sharp, Hamilton, Jamin and Bosson, but couldn't finish the races due to an oil leak from a crack in the engine block. On Saturday, the field was slowed down for the first few laps due to a safety car after the Tecno of series returnee Bonny was stranded in the fast section through the sand dunes after the top of the hill. Once racing resumed, Jeremy Timms did the best he could to hang on to Harrison, crossing the finish line after 8 laps just 7 seconds behind. Derossi, Jamin and Fischer had a nice battle for third, as did Muller, Tart, series newcomer Ingwiller, in his super rare and beautifully restored Pygmée F3, and Carter in the Speedsport Chevron, raced last season by Harrison. Slotine, Pangborn and the younger Widmer racing for the first time in Paul Waine's DeSanctis, unfortunately were all non-starters due to technical issues. On Saturday evening, everyone enjoyed a splendid BBQ on the beach organized by Rachel Sergison. On Sunday, the race was much longer, too long for Sewell and Tart, both running out of fuel on the penultimate lap. Harrison stormed away and had a lonely race, as did Timms in second place. However, once again Derossi and Jamin fought all race long for the last remaining spot on the podium while the trio of Muller, Sharp and the older Widmer had a very good dice for fifth. Slotine and the younger Widmer had their problems sorted for the second race and both gained 14 places - one place per lap - excellent performances from the first champion and the newest debutee in our series. The updated track layout with the strong banking was definitely well received by all competitors, many expressing their wish to return as soon as possible. Pictures and results are now online.

Spa
Summer Classic 2024 2025!
Spa-Francorchamps is one of the most legendary tracks on this planet and Historic F3 has last been present on this circuit in 2014. We now have a tremendous opportunity to return for a standalone Historic F3 double-header at Spa Summer Classic in June or early July 2024 as part of our 60 year anniversary celebration. However, we need your support in order to secure the race now, find out more on our Spa 2024 campaign page!
UPDATE - We have successfully achieved our campaign goal grace to generous commitments from our members and supporters - we are going to Spa in Summer
2024 2025 - thank you for your awesome support! 
UPDATE II - The 2024 Spa Summer Classic will take place on April 26-28, and not in June or July, as it had in the past. Unfortunately, this is very early in the season and too close to our Members' Meeting race at Goodwood. Based on the feedback received from our campaign contributors, we have decided to postpone our race at Spa to 2025. This decision was not taken lightly and we will do our very best to secure a better date, in close collaboration with HSCC and the British One-Litre F3 Association. Racing at Spa in 2025 will certainly mean that there is no scheduling conflict with Goodwood, nor with races organized by HSCC. Thank you for your support, we appreciate your understanding in this matter and will keep you updated on any new developments as soon as they happen.
UPDATE III - We are thrilled to finally announce the dates for our standalone Historic F3 double-header at legendary Spa-Francorchamps! We will be racing at the Spa Six Hours event, which will take place on September 25-27, 2025. We intend to open our entry system early next year and all campaign contributors which opted for the discounted entry fee will be guaranteed a place on the grid. Stay tuned - Belgium will hear us scream in 2025!
2023 Calendar
Our 2023 season will start with the traditional awards dinner on the Race Retro weekend at Stoneleigh and will be combined for the first time with the British 1000cc Historic F3 Racing Association awards dinner to celebrate our close collaboration. As it was again very difficult to find attractive events on the continent, we decided to continue to focus on quality rather than quantity and thus the racing season will commence with one of the season highlights at the Historic Grand Prix at Zandvoort in mid June. Next up will be two standalone double-headers in the UK, first at Brands Hatch Superprix in mid July and, just two weeks later, at the Oulton Park Gold Cup - a fantastic event and a great opportunity to combine both races with just one channel crossing. Members are encouraged to participate in both of these flagship events in order to demonstrate that Historic F3 can put together full grids which will help us tremendously in organizing an outstanding calendar for our 2024 diamond anniversary season. For those interested, our British friends will assist in finding options to leave car and equipment on the island in between the two races. The final round of the championship will then take place at the end of September, when we will join our friends from the French Historic Formula Ford championship for a double-header on the Grand Prix circuit at Magny-Cours . Details can be found on our calendar page - we hope to be seeing you in full force back on track in 2023!
Portimão
A combined Formula Junior and Historic F3 grid of 30 cars gathered in sunny Portugal 
for the Filipe Nogueira Trophy at the Algarve Classic Festival. Not too surprising, Jeremy Timms in his ex Reine Wisell Chevron was quickest overall in the official practice, but by the narrowest of margins possible as he out-qualified Widmer in P2 by a mere 0.001 of a second. The second row went to Formula Junior drivers Ames and Halusa, followed by Derossi and Jamin in row three, Formula Junior drivers Mowle and Buhofer in row four, Sharp in the ex Jim Blockley Chevron was fifth of the screamers, while Tart, Jason Timms, Traber, Messer and Jim Timms rounded out the top 10 in Historic F3. With pole position secured a bit too close for comfort, Jeremy Timms changed to fresh tyres, used just for one race before, and set out in a blistering pace in race one, challenged only briefly by Alex Ames who was clearly the fastest Formula Junior all weekend. After two laps, a parked Envoy FJ with a gearbox issue in turn three brought out the safety car for three laps. However, that didn't prevent Timms from storming away when racing resumed, setting a blistering pace with a best lap of 2:00.8 minutes, 2.5 seconds quicker than in qualifying! Ames had a lonely race as leading Formula Junior while Derossi and Widmer battled for second place in F3, well clear of the rest of the field and quite certain of a place on the podium. Unfortunately, and somewhat foolishly, they entangled at the hairpin on the penultimate lap, resulting in Derossi's Chevron being beached in the gravel with a bent front suspension, while Widmer managed to restart his bruised Brabham after a gaggle of cars slipped through, including Sharp in his immaculate Chevron and Jason Timms who continuously improved session after session. In the end, a delighted Josh Sharp finished second in F3, only to miss out on the podium celebration while Widmer managed to reclaim P3 which he held most of the race anyway. Jason Timms finished fourth while Tart, Traber, an astonishing Jim Timms, Messer, Slotine and Carminati rounded up the top ten. The son of Filipe Nogueira was present for an emotional presentation of the trophy in his father's name. After a flury of repairs in a great team effort, all cars but the stranded Envoy were ready for the second race on Sunday morning. Just as he had done in race one, Jeremy Timms was in a class of his own and lead comfortably only to be realed in once again by the safety car after too many cars tried to squeeze into turn one after six laps. Eventually racing resumed with two laps to go and this time a determined Ames was making sure it wasn't an easy win for Timms. However, the later responded in style, recording an amazing 2:00.0 minutes on his final lap, which not only secured him the grand slam for the weekend, but also crowned him a well-deserved champion for the 2022 season with four wins and four second places in eight races. Derossi and a very happy Jason Timms, who finally managed to sort his fuel starvation issue on the main straight, completed the podium. Sharp managed to surprise a snoozing Widmer at the top of the hill on the last lap to finished fourth while Traber, Jamin, Tart, Jim Timms and series newcomer Burkard in the ex Regazzoni, Jaussaud and Gallo Team Arnold Tecno completed the top ten. As this might possibly have been the last race ever for series elder Jim Timms, a special celebration was organized in the pit garages after the race in order to thank him for his engagement and support of our series. He was presented, in front of a large part of his family, with a commemorative T-shirt signed by all competitors and friends. A very worthy finish to a great weekend and season on this fantastic track. Pictures and results are now online. See you all again in 2023!
Filipe Nogueira Trophy
Our joint race at the Algarve Classic Festival together with the Formula Junior Historic Racing Association will be in honour of J. Filipe Nogueira who successfully competed in both series in period. As was typical at the time, JFN Filipe Nogueira competed in all sorts of categories and cars such as various Ferraris and Porsches against greats like Roy Salvadori, Marquis de Portago and Derek Bell. The first Formula Junior race in Portugal was at Porto on August 23rd 1958, as a support to the Portuguese F1 GP. Filipe Nogueira was entered in a Stanguellini, and indeed was leading the race, until engine trouble forced him to retire. Fast forward to the F3 era of 1964-70, and whilst there was no Portuguese race in ’64, in ’65 the XI GP de Portugal was held at Cascais, and Filipe was 4th in the final in a Lotus 35. The following year, at the 1966 GP de l’A.C. Portugal in Porto, Nogueira was 5th in a Brabham BT16. Being the best of the Portuguese in that race was very honorable and exciting, so JFN acquired - through Frank Williams - a Brabham BT 18, with which he would race during the remainder of the 66 and the 67 seasons. During those years, he took part in several races in Portugal , such as the VI Circuito de Montes Claros 1967 where he placed 2nd, in a race that tragically ended the live of Tim Cash, but mainly in Europe, namely, Barcelona 
, Pau, Dijon , Monza and Brands Hatch . In 1967, JFN and two other Portuguese drivers represented Portugal in the Nations Cup at Brands Hatch where Portugal was placed 5th among more then a dozen participating nations. Please also see our picture gallery courtesy of his son José Filipe Nogueira who will be present at Portimão.
Sensational Dijon
Another truly international grid with competitors from Italy , France , Germany , Sweden , Switzerland , UK and the USA assembled for the first HSCC Historic F3 race on the continent in five years. Conditions for qualifying on Friday afternoon were fantastic and it quickly showed that those with previous exposure to this very technical track had an advantage. Not unexpectedly Jeremy Timms took pole but by a narrower margin than usual, just 2/10th ahead of Widmer who lapped 14/1000 quicker than Bankhurst who in turn exclipsed Derossi by yet another 14/1000 - very close performances indeed. Behind it was Jason Timms ahead of series newcomer Jamin, Fischer, Sharp, Muller and Armer rounding out the top ten. A nice apéro in the paddock rounded up a perfect Friday with all cars ready for the first race on Saturday. Widmer had the best start and lead initially in race one, but Timms restored order at the end of the first lap while Bankhurst and Derossi received a drive-through on lap two for being a bit too optimistic as the lights went out. An unfortunate spin into turn one on lap 4 collected an unlucky Delea and brought out the safety car for two laps and thus bunching up everyone once again. After the restart, a good battle between the Timms cousins and Widmer ensued with Jamin, Fischer and Armer in hot pursuit. However, it was clearly Derossi who delivered the drive of the day. Being just in P12 after the safety car and his detour through the pit lane, he started to slice through the field and eventually caught up with Jeremy Timms and Widmer with three laps to go after Jason Timms dropped back after a spin and Fischer's engine started to loose power. In the end Derossi crossed the finish line just half a car length ahead of Timms after 15 laps, however, as the race was red flagged immediately thereafter due to a near identical incident into turn one on lap 14, this time series newcomer Humbert collecting an unfortunate Messer, the final race result was that of a lap before with Timms taking a narrow victory ahead of Derossi and Widmer. Jamin followed in P4 in his first screamer race ever, ahead of Sharp, Armer, Muller and Bosson. As it was such a close call, Jeremy Timms put on a new set of tyres which he had saved for Portimão and never looked back in the second race on Sunday, driving without fault and securing a second victory and the lead in the championship. However behind spectators withnessed a sensational battle for second place in a six car battle over 17 laps from start to finish. Derossi, Jason Timms, Jamin, Armer, Bankhurst and Widmer traded places lap after lap, very close, clean and intense racing and simply a joy to watch - definitely perfect advertising for our series. Any one of the six would have deserved to be on the podium, in the end it was Derossi crossing the finish line narrowly ahead of Jason Timms, but all the others had equally big smiles on their faces as they got out of their cars. The eight top finishers in race two will all meet again in Portimão , so more to come! Results, pictures and video are now all online - enjoy!
Enjoy a compilation of race 2 as Derossi and Widmer trade places with Jason Timms, Bankhurst, Jamin and Armer over 17 laps!

Brands Hatch Superprix
An amazing 30 screamers entered the Brands Hatch Superprix on the famous Grand Prix circuit - a truly international grid with competitors from Australia 
, France , Germany , Sweden , Switzerland and the UK , just like in the heydays of F3 racing in the late sixties. The weekend ended prematurely after free practice for French competitors Slotine and Debien with engine and gearbox issue and some pandemic related withdrawals meant that the field was reduced to 26 for qualifying. As in recent events, youngster Samuel Harrison in his Chevron was quickest, one second faster than Jeremy Timms who was well clear of a closely matched group comprising Seaman, Widmer, Armer, Bankhurst, Fischer and Derossi. Just behind was another cluster with Messer, Sharp, Bosson, Linstone, Tart, Nichols, Jason Timms, Penrose, Sergison, Muller and Hamilton - all of them enjoying this fantastic track in glorious sunshine. The start for the first race on Saturday late afternoon was slightly delayed as Messer' Vesey decided to empty its oil at Surtees but the marshals did a fantastic job cleaning this up quickly and making sure the track was save for racing. As expected Harrison stormed away at the start, however, it wasn't easy sailing as a determined Jeremy Timms pursued him relentlessly and in the process posted the fastest lap of the race, crossing the finish line just two seconds behind. Initially it was Seaman in third until he spun on lap 6, giving way for a great dice between Widmer, Derossi and Armer for the remaining spot on the podium. In the end, Derossi edged Widmer ahead of Armer, the three separated by just 1.5 seconds after ten laps. Bankhurst suffered from some misfires and had to fight hard in order to stay ahead of Penrose, Sharp, Linstone, Nichols and Fischer. The starting order for the second race on Sunday was based on fastest lap the day before, so Jeremy Timms was on pole, ahead of Harrison, cousin Jason Timms, Fischer and Derossi. However, it didn't take long for Harrison to restore order and this time, he managed to extend the gap to Jeremy Timms to 5 seconds while improving his best lap time at the same time. The safety car had to come out briefly after Bankhurst went into the gravel at Paddock Hill Bend but things were cleared up quickly as racing could resume after just one lap. Jason Timms had a lonely race but drove very well and was delighted to be on the podium, ahead of Armer, Seaman, Derossi, Widmer and Linstone. Overall, it was fantastic to have such a big grid and close racing on this legendary track - well worth the trip across the channel! Pictures, video and results are now online.
Watch a compilation of a few laps of race 1 onboard Widmer's Brabham.
Donington Park - Screamers are back!
Our season started with a near maximum capacity grid at Donington Park with 28 cars on the entry list. The weather couldn't quite make up its mind - hot and sunny for setting up and scrutineering on Friday, then cold and very wet for qualifying and race 1 on Saturday and finally overcast but dry for race 2 on Sunday. Visibility for qualifying was very poor and the safety car came out after little more than one lap due to too many cars being stranded in the gravel all around the circuit. Once everything was cleared up and the safety car pulled in, there was just time for two quick laps. Youngster Samuel Harrison proved to be in a class of his own, distancing Jeremy Timms nearly five seconds - simply amazing! A further four seconds back was Armer, ahead of Bankhurst, Milicevic, Widmer, Lamplough and Derossi. It was still wet for the race, but not quite as bad as during qualifying. Again, Samuel Harrison put on a dominating performance, crossing the finish line more than a minute ahead of Bankhurst and Timms - the only drivers to finish the race in the same lap as the winner - everyone else was lapped at least once. Armer was best of the rest on fourth, followed by series newcomer Sharp, Lamplough and Haughton. Despite the rain, newly weds Rachel & Ewen Sergison hosted a great BBQ on Saturday evening - a great opportunity to catch up and recount stories current and past. At last conditions were dry for the race on Sunday. Harrison won again, completing a perfect weekend, but this time, the gaps were a lot closer with Timms and Bankhurst completing the podium in reverse order from Saturday. Behind, it was again Armer in fourth, followed by Seaman, Sharp and Haughton. Derossi was best continental driver ahead of Widmer and Bosson. All in all a great weekend with Historic F3 for once presenting the largest grid of the event - quite a comeback from previous years. Pictures and results are now online.
Goodwood 79MM
Five continental drivers joined their British friends for the Derek Bell Cup at the 79th Members' Meeting. The sixth edition of the event saw Andrew Hibberd take pole as expected, ahead of Seaman and Timms, followed by Armer, Diffey, Thompson and Kite. Fastest driver from the continent was Italian Spaggiari, followed by Widmer , Derossi , Bosson and Pircher . The qualifying session was briefly red flagged when Paul Waine's engine failed in a big way - definitely an unfortunate weekend for the kind DeSanctis driver - and the aftermath of the oil spilled on the track also prematurely ended the weekend for Spaggiari and former winner James King from the US . After a fantastic set of demonstrations, followed by a memorable evening party, next morning 21 remaining drivers, including debutante Rachel Lovett racing Sergisons' Merlyn, warmed up their engines in glorious sunshine in preparation for their race just before lunch. Steve Seaman had the best start and lead initially ahead of Timms and pole-sitter Hibberd. However, Timms made one of the top 10 overtakes of the weekend when he passed Seaman around the outside at Woodcote towards the end of the first lap. Hibberd started slightly cautious but restored order on the second lap at Lavant and never looked back, celebrating a well-deserved third win in the Derek Bell Cup ahead of Timms and Thompson, who had an intense race-long battle with Fitz-Simon, the later gaining an impressive eight places in the race. Fifth was Kite, narrowly ahead of Widmer and Armer who's engine started to struggle on the last lap of the race. Unfortunately Derossi's engine seized on lap five, so only three drivers from the continent finished the race, including Bosson from Sweden in tenth place and Pircher from Switzerland in his first race at Goodwood on thirtenth place, but all of them thoroughly enjoyed the special, one-of-a-kind weekend. Pictures and results are now online.
2022 Award Dinner
Now that the other title fight has finally been decided, it is time to look forward to 2022! We are pleased to announce the first event, our post-poned 2020 award dinner. The long-awaited celebration will take place on March 5th 2022 at Delea's winery in Losone, Switzerland and members of the Regazzoni family will be present! The invitation letter and dinner reservation form are now available on our calendar page. Pictures are now online!
2022 UK Award Dinner
Now that the pandemic finally seems to come to an end, here's yet another opportunity for a social gettogether. Our friends from the British 1000cc F3 Historic Racing Association will have their Annual Awards Dinner on Saturday 26th March 2022 at the Chesford Grange Hotel in Kenilworth . Continental competitors are warmly welcome to attend.
2022 Calendar
We are pleased to present our calendar for 2022. Our racing season will be launched in style with the 6th edition of the Derek Bell Cup at the 79th Members' Meeting at Goodwood in April. As it was very difficult to find attractive events, we decided to focus on quality rather than quantity and as a result, our championship will start a bit later than usual with two standalone double-headers at Donington Park in June and, just three weeks later, at Brands Hatch in July, subject to confirmation by HSCC. Members are encouraged to participate in both of these flagship events in order to demonstrate that Historic F3 can put together full grids. For those interested, our British friends will assist in finding options to leave car and equipment on the island in between the two races. The second part of the championship will then take place in October, first with another standalone double-header at the Motors Cup at Dijon-Prenois which will also be the final round of the British Historic F3 championship. And last, but certainly not least, the final round of the European 1000cc Trophy will take place at Portimão in a joint race together with our friends from the Formula Junior Historic Racing Association. The race entry will include 100 minutes of track time as well as 3 nights in a four star hotel, thus representing great value and a perfect vacation opportunity to enjoy some sunshine and good food in the beautiful Algarve area. As the rounds in Dijon and Portimão are just three weeks apart, the plan is to organize a transport option for our continental competitors from Dijon to the Algarve and back - stay tuned for further information. Details can be found on our calendar page - we hope to be seeing you in full force back on track in 2022!
Goodwood Derek Bell Cup
Breaking news - Goodwood have confirmed the Derek Bell Cup for F3 screamers in their full race program for the 79th Members' Meeting on April 9th and 10th next year!
Frank Williams
Sadly, Sir Frank Williams passed away on November 28th. He started his legendary motorsport career in the sixties racing F3 screamers before moving on to F1 where his team eventually would win seven driver and nine constructor titles. The picture, copyright Bo Börjesson, demonstrates Williams' fighting spirit in car #5, ahead of Troberg #15 and Dubler #7, all three of them in a Brabham BT18, at the Knutstorp Cup in 1966 where he scored his first and only victory in F3. RIP.
Oulton Park Gold Cup
Finally, it was possible again for European competitors to travel to the UK, after what seemed to be a never ending period in the holding pattern and Leif Bosson from Sweden and Christoph Widmer from Switzerland took on the challenge to join 16 British competitors for the Oulton Park Gold Cup. They were rewarded with perfect conditions, a very warm welcome back and a fantastic meeting overall. All weekend long, Jeremy Timms in his Chevron B17 was in a class of his own after the last minute withdrawal of Ben Simms, comfortably securing pole and easily winning both races with a substantial margin, lapping the iconic circuit at least 2.5 seconds faster than the next competitor. However, it was anything but clear as to who would join Timms on the podium as spectacular fighting could be observed throughout the field, especially for second place which was hotly contested by reigning British F3 champion Bankhurst in his Alexis, former champion Armer in his March and continental visitor Widmer in his Brabham. The three changed positions lap after lap, no one managing to escape. Widmer lead the trio at the beginning of lap 9, unaware that this would be the last as the race duration was slightly shortened to make up for lost time during the day. Bankhurst managed to squeeze through going into Knickerbrook and Armer did the same at Druids, thus moving the Swiss racer to P4 as the trio crossed the finish line just 0.5 seconds apart. Specators also enjoyed another excellent battle for P5 between points leader Tart, period race Walker, Waine in the ultra-rare De Sanctis as well as Sewell and Hamilton in their beautiful screamers. Certainly, big smiles were abundent in the parc fermé after a highly entertaining race. The second race on the bank holiday Monday was pretty much repeat of the day before - Waine had the best start and was on P2 until he spun at Cascades while Bankhurst, Armer and Widmer continued their titanic battle until Armer could no longer engage gears after a small off on the approach to Hill Top. As such, Bankhurst and Widmer joined Timms on the podium while Waine, Linstone, Walker, Sewell, Hamilton, Bosson and Booth rounded out the top ten. Results, pictures and video are now online.
Dijon Historic Tour
Only a select group of five screamers plus one invitee joined their French Formula Ford Historic friends at Dijon for a combined grid of 32 cars. With a threat of heavy downpour for the race on Saturday, everybody tried hard to qualify as far in front as possible and Derossi managed this to near perfection with P4 overall despite a lack-luster engine performance. Derossi struggled to start his Chevron prior to race 1 but finally managed at the last moment. Luckily, it stayed dry for the start of the race, especially as the five screamers where unexpectedly all lined up together at the back of the grid, three rows after the slowest Formula Ford. This created quite a dangerous situation as a Derossi and Widmer tried to navigate much slower cars, passing close to half a dozen before turn 1 and some more before that ended - definitely not an experience they plan to repeat. Light drizzle started around lap 6 and made the track tricky to navigate as it was slippery in some parts but still dry in others. Delea spun on lap 8 at the double-left at the top of the hill and was unfortunate enough to be collected by an inexperienced competitor who couldn't decide whether to pass him on the left or the right! This incident prematurely ended the weekend for both and brought out the safety car for the remainder of the race as rain started to intensify. With Derossi and Delea side-lined, only three screamers took the start on Sunday, this time however all correctly lined up in the middle of the grid as usual. Slotine had a great start, drove very well and lead early on, pursued by Widmer and Pircher. However, the suprise of the weekend was when Slotine pulled over at the end of lap 4 as his steering wheel had become loose on the main straight! Unfazed by this, Slotine mended the car with some nuts and tools borrowed from a marshal, strapped himself back into the Merlyn, continued the race and finally joined Widmer and Pircher on the podium - that's the spirit! Results and pictures are now online.
Paul Ricard - Fischer is back!
Seven continental members plus an invitation pilot ventured to the South of France in order to compete in a 52 car shared grid at the Grand Prix de France Historique. Quite as expected Geoffroy Rivet was fastest amongst the screamers qualifying on a remarkable P2 overall, ahead of Widmer, Fischer, Derossi, Slotine and the Swiss duo of Delea and Pircher. Race 1 early on Saturday morning was interrupted twice by the safety car and unfortunately the second incident prematurely ended the older Widmer's race weekend. Rivet was unchallenged and claimed victory ahead of Fischer and an elated Slotine. The second race on Sunday was a much better experience for all and Rivet completed his weekend grand slam, winning ahead of a beaming Fischer who saw the checkered flag in two subsequent races for the first time in quite a while as the nagging issues with his Tecno have finally been sorted. Derossi finished third after a spin at double-right of Beausset ahead of Slotine and Pircher who narrowly edged Delea after the Swiss duo traded positions all race long. Austin Widmer drove a stunning race in the Pircher Lotus 61 in a race-long four car battle for first in the pre-74 Historic Formula Ford class, showing that he certainly deserves his seat in our junior driver program. Quite unlucky a first podium eluded him as the nose of his Lotus folded back 180 degrees after making minor contact with the rear wheel of the McNamara of seasoned veteran Prevost just three corners from the finish line while fighting for a class win rather than settling for third, showing that he is a true racer indeed! Results, pictures and video are online! In addition, you can re-watch a live broadcast of the Sunday race - our race starts at 2h:52' - enjoy!
2021 Calendar
It has been incredibly challenging to organize a viable calendar for 2021 due to the uncertainty of the progression of the pandemic in the coming months, combined with new administrative hurdles and associated cost when travelling to and from the UK. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to find suitable events, and after exploring many different options and scenarios, we have come to realize that it is essentially impossible for us to conduct the Historic F3 1000cc European Trophy this year. Instead, we will do what we do best and enjoy racing amongst friends, whereever and whenever possible. Our members will be able to race at the Grand Prix de France Historique at Paul Ricard in June, in all the British Historic F3 races organized by HSCC , in particular at Brands Hatch in July and Oulton Park in late August, as well as in all Historic Tour events together with our friends from the French Historic Formula Ford association. In addition, we also plan to organize the postponed award dinner sometime in the Fall once travel and event restrictions have been lifted - a date will be announced in due time. Further details can be found on our calendar page - we hope to be seeing you on track in 2021!
