Kennard breaks his duck in torrential rain at Spa
Jonathan Kennard (#2 Raikkonen Robertson Racing) scored his first British F3 win in a race hit by a torrential downpour and ended under the safety car. Kennard leaves Spa with a 1st and 2nd places plus a new British F3 lap record to his name. Maro Engel (#23 Carlin) was a fighting second ahead of Carlin teammate Sam Bird (#3 Carlin).
Sergio Perez (#31 T Sport) took a another win in the National Class, just missing out on a clean sweep with Frankie Cheng (#39 Performance Racing) taking the point for the fastest lap in second place.
The track was awash after overnight rain, with more rain continuing to fall as the cars formed up on the grid. The decision was taken to start the race behind the safety car and for two laps the 30 drivers played follow-my-leader before the safety car pulled in and racing got underway on lap 3 with Kennard the only driver with a clearer view of the track as the rest of the field disappeared in a cloud of spray kicked up by the Avon wet tires.
