New series for JHR as British F3 season planned

JHR Developments will become the newest team to participate in the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship in 2019.

It’s understood two cars will be entered for British F3 next season but no drivers have yet been confirmed.

The team currently operates in British F4 and has previously run cars in the Ginetta Junior Championship.

“We’re very happy to be joining the BRDC F3 Championship,” said team principal Steven Hunter.

“It is a strong championship which runs on an impressive package and is exceptionally well organised.

“We’ve travelled to a few meetings this year and have been very impressed with not only the championship itself but also the way that it has been put together.

“We are currently utilising our bespoke, in-house simulator which mirrors the on-track performance of the cars, so drivers will be able to gain knowledge and develop their skills in conjunction with a comprehensive on track test programme.”

JHR is set to become the first new team to enter the series since the category adopted its current regulations in 2016, as a Stratton Motorsport entry failed to materialise this season.

British F3 recently announced its calendar and will race at eight rounds, seven of which will support British GT.
