Frustration for Rossiter at the Nurburgring


By BAR Honda
August 8 2005

BAR Honda Young Driver James Rossiter had a torrid time at the Nurburgring last weekend. Driving his Dallara Opel, the Briton managed a tenth place finish and a retirement in rounds 12 and 13 of the F3 Euroseries. Having qualified ninth and 13th respectively for the two races, Rossiter struggled for pace in race one and crossed the line 30 seconds behind first-time winner Adrian Sutil. An accident at the start of the second race forced Rossiter to retire, prematurely ending his race weekend.

Heading into the final six rounds of the championship Rossiter has 47 points putting him level with Signature-Plus team-mate Loďc Duval in fourth place. The next F3 Euroseries action will be on 28 August at Zandvoort, Netherlands.
