Marcus Simmons's Silverstone F3 diary

By:

Twenty-eight cars, three different winners, a British one-two - and a chance to gauge FIA Single-Seater Commission president Gerhard Berger's vision of the junior formulae future. Marcus Simmons reviews Euro F3's Silverstone visit

June 10 1984: Johnny Dumfries holds off Russell Spence to make it a British one-two in the Silverstone round of the FIA European Formula 3 Championship. Ivan Capelli and Gerhard Berger are some way back, third and fourth respectively, and in turn they're a long way clear of the rest of the 20-car field. All but three drivers are in Ralt RT3s, but there are three different makes of engine.
