Hitech adds UK campaign to 2020 season plans
Leading UK single-seater team Hitech GP will contest the 2020 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship when the season gets under way next month.
The Silverstone-based squad, which already competes in FIA and Asian Formula 3 and will also contest Formula 2 this season, will field two cars in the UK category.
The squad, which was second in the FIA F3 teams’ championship last year and operates the centrally run W Series, will confirm its drivers in the coming weeks.
Team principal Oliver Oakes said: “We’d looked at British F3 on and off for a couple of years but it just never came together. One year we did Asian F3 and then last year we took the tender for W Series.
“I think with the current COVID-19 situation, doing something in the UK could be good to have. It’s a good championship for the young drivers and good for our staff.
“British motorsport doesn’t get the credit it deserves for developing drivers. People should be more complimentary and understanding that British motorsport develops talent.”
