The second BRDC British F3 race of the weekend at Silverstone has been abandoned due to adverse weather conditions, with Lanan Racing’s Josh Mason declared the winner and full points awarded.

The race started late, and behind the safety car after near constant rain throughout the morning. The supporting GT Cup category had a 10 minute warm-up session during a gap in the weather, but by the time the British F3 cars were heading to the grid, the heavy rain had returned. Two laps were completed by all cars before the decision was made by race control to red flag the race, with Josh Mason leading having started from pole.

A Clerk of the Course Decision, signed by Clerk of the Course David Scott states:

‘Race two of the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship on Sunday 14 October was started behind the Safety Car in accordance with MSA Regulations.

‘The race was abandoned due to heavy rain and standing water and the cars were returned to the Pit Lane.

‘The results show that the leader had completed TWO laps. In accordance with BRDC British Formula 3 Championship regulation 1.6.4 full points are awarded.’

Mason therefore is awarded the victory, with the top-three completed by Hillspeed’s Ben Hurst and Douglas Motorsport’s Arvin Esmaeili. With the race run entirely behind the Safety Car, the finishing order is exactly the same as the starting positions.
