Round three of the British F4 Championship heads to Snetterton, with three Aussies in hot pursuit of kiwi gun Louis Sharp.

After two rounds, Sharp finds himself on top of the tree, but will be hoping to hit back after missing the podium at Brands Hatch.

Returning to the field after racing in the Spanish F4 last round, Australian youngster Noah Lisle is back to take on his NZ Rodin Carlin teammate.

Lisle had a a great first round at Donington – along with Sharp – taking his maiden win and a P2 to issue a stern challenge to Sharp, and returns after a strong round at Spa for the opening round of the Spanish F4, 31 points in arrears of the leader.

HiTech Pulse-Eight (formerly HiTech GP) racer James Piszcyk will be confident heading to Snetterton, having done well in his preseason testing for the Silverstone based team.

After a slow start in the opener, the former national Formula Ford gun showed good gains at Brand Hatch with a flush of top-tens, and a high of P6 to sit 13th in the championship.

Kiwi Louis Sharp (#11) and Aussie Noah Lisle (#2) charge into Turn 1 at Donington Park side by side in the opening round of the British F4 championship.

Fellow Aussie and Phynsis by Argenti racer Patrick Heuzenroeder will be looking to improve on his sole top-ten finish in the opening round, and will be hoping to climb the table from seventeenth.

With five different winners from six races so far, it’s a close championship and a highly competitive grid, as they now head to a technically difficult track featuring two long straights with a healthy slip stream and 12 corners.
