AMERICAN FF1600 BATTLERS EYE GB3 IN 2023
American Formula Ford racers Shawn Rashid and Thomas Schrage are looking to graduate to GB3 next season.
Rashid driving with Ammonite Motorsport finished fifth in 2022’s National FF1600 standings, then had unlucky Festival and Walter
Hayes Trophy end-of-year events.
He told Motorsport News: “I’m going to be doing GB3 next year. I haven’t decided where yet, I’m testing with some teams and we’ll figure that out pretty soon.
“I want to do the whole FIA ladder and it’s just the logical way to go. Having done Formula Fords here I’ll be familiar with most of the tracks. The competition in GB3 is so good. I want to be racing with the best in the world.”
Schrage meanwhile impressed in his late-season UK running with Team USA Scholarship. He told MN: “I’m not completely sure for 2023, but I would like to do GB3 possibly. I know I can get the programme [budget-wise] for Formula Ford in the UK together but the GB3 will be a little bit harder.”
