Kerr leads Formula 3 field for Oulton Park

AS the Avon Tyres British Formula 3 Championship enters the final third of the season at Oulton Park this weekend, results are becoming more crucial.

With nine races remaining, there is a maximum of 189 points on offer to any one driver. Series leader, Robbie Kerr (200), second placed James Courtney (191), Bruce Jouanny (152) and Michael Keohane (142) are the top quartet.

Kerr seized the initiative in the last round in Rockingham when Courtney was forced to miss the double header due to his accident in Monza while testing with Jaguar. Both drivers have sneaked clear of Jouanny and Keohane who are dicing for third. However, there is still time for either to make an impression. Keohane held second earlier in the season and showed tremendous form in his double win in Donington - the first driver to win a double round in 2002.
