Before this race the lap record for a F3 car was 1 minute 31.710 seconds, giving an average speed of 105.67 mph!
No wonder I had trouble getting my camera to focus.
Watch this space and see if Nelson follows his fathers footsteps into F1.

Ronayne O'Mahony from Ireland was one of the scholarship drivers. |

Will Power was unfortunate and didn't finish the race. |
|
At the beginning of the race the cars were amazingly close together. |
|
As the race went on Nelson Piquet (car number 33) shot off into the distance and he won the race setting a new lap record. Watch this space and see if Nelson follows his fathers footsteps into F1. |

After completing the race the drivers did a final lap. This picture shows Piquet celebrating wining the race. I didn't take this picture, a friend from work who was also at the race took it. |
