Just stumbled across this, and realised its a lad I know from karting driving!

Jealous, but he is a good lad ahah!

What an opportunity

I am jealous too.

Mr Harris, what is the difference between F1, F2 and F3? Something I've always wondered.

Oh, and what karts did you race?

I dunno I'm not that technical, lol.

I did TKM mainly, i drove a rotax once and it was the most boring test day ever

The difference between f1, f2, f3 is the power/handling/aero dynamics design that are aloud to be used in each class. So the f1 use the most powerful and best cars they can make (on there budget + terms of f1 association) f2 use less powerful cars etc etc

Edit: forgot to say how lucky your friend is!! Would love to have a go in one of them bad boys

Yeah, it's in rank order obviously but I don't really think you get f1/2/3 these days?

F3 maybe

Yer they're all still going

F2 calendar:

that looks like the most fun ever.

another lower and club based series is formula 4, our Uni/College race in the 750 motor Club Formula 4 Using an old Formula Renault (chassis built to Formula 3 specs but with a lower powered engine 175hp instead of around 250)

The series consists of mainly small teams with Swansea Metropolitan Uni and us being the only academic teams this year, though staffordshire uni have competed in the past.
