The Tatuus-Cosworth BRDC British F3 car will receive a package of upgrades in time for the 2018 season.

These upgrades follow recent FIA directives, and BRDC British F3 is one of the first championships to make these amendments to the cars, with new parts designed and supplied by chassis manufacturer Tatuus in line with the new guidelines.

Changes include a new, longer, carbon fibre rear impact structure with a slightly modified diffuser, while at the front of the car, a new machined-from-solid anti-intrusion bulkhead will be fitted, sitting directly between the removable nose box impact structure and the front of the chassis.

The parts will shortly be ready for dispatch to teams participating in the 2018 BRDC British F3 Championship, so that they can be added to cars during pre-season testing and before the first race event at Oulton Park over the British GT/F3 Easter weekend event.

MSV Group Operations and Engineering Manager Giles Butterfield commented: “BRDC British F3 will be among the first championships in the world to conform to these new FIA directives, ahead of their mandatory implementation amongst other regulation changes in 2019. This reaffirms our commitment to teams and drivers to provide them with the highest quality, safest and most up to date machinery possible.”
