The BRDC British Formula 3 Championship has given its cars a fresh new look ahead of the upcoming campaign, and while the upgrade package isn't certain to deliver a decisive improvement on laptimes, it is set to give drivers and teams a lot more to think about.

MotorSport Vision, which operates the championship, introduced its current car - highly developed versions of the Tatuus FIA Formula 4 chassis initially built for competition in 2014 - when it rebranded the BRDC Formula 4 Championship at the start of 2016.

A proud Yorkshireman, Stefan Mackley is Autosport's National Deputy Editor. Having graduated from the University of Central Lancashire with a degree in sports journalism he spent nearly four years working on local newspapers in Wiltshire - during which time he became an NQJ-qualified journalist and cut his teeth covering club racing at Castle Combe in his spare time.

Making the jump into motorsport journalism full-time, he joined the national desk for both Autosport magazine and Motorsport News in 2017 before becoming National Deputy Editor for the former in 2020.

His passion for motorsport stems from watching Formula 1 as a child with his father and is matched only by his love for Star Wars.

A better journalist than racing driver, he has so far competed in the Citroen C1 24 Hours and 116 Trophy with hopes of racing more machinery in 2021 and beyond.
