Frenchman Tristan Charpentier, who made his BRDC British F3 debut with Chris Dittmann Racing at Oulton Park on Easter weekend, will return to the championship at Spa-Francorchamps next weekend (8/9 July) alongside CDR’s regular driver line-up of Omar Ismail and Jeremy Wahome.

Charpentier enjoyed a promising debut at Oulton Park, during which he qualified 16th before challenging hard for points and earning 11th and 12th place finishes at a circuit regarded as one of the trickiest on the calendar.

Charpentier said: “I'm really happy to rejoin the championship with CDR on this amazing track. I'm really looking forward to having a lot of fun during this weekend and bringing good results. I learned a lot during Oulton Park with the experience that Chris and the CDR team brought me so hopefully now we can achieve good results together."

CDR Team Principal Chris Dittmann added: “I’m delighted to welcome Tristan back to the team for Spa-Francorchamps and I’ll be pleased to see three CDR cars back on the grid again. We worked well together at the start of the year on what was a bit of an odd weekend at Oulton Park, and I’m hoping that we can come back fighting at one of the best circuits on the calendar with our three-pronged attack.”
