IMPRESSES ON F3 TEST DEBUT
11 October,
2007: British Formula Ford Champion Callum MacLeod has earned
the praise of the Ultimate Motorsport Formula 3 team following a
two-day test for the squad.
Nineteen-year-old
MacLeod impressed Ultimate engineer Andy Richardson:
"Callum's ability in the car was there for all to see during
this test. He has the talent of car control and a great
understanding despite this being his first experience of an F3
car.
"His feedback
and comments were very, very good - in fact, he is probably one of
the best drivers I have dealt with at doing that - and that
reflects on what he has achieved in Formula Ford.
"During his
test he was involved in developing the Mygale car further and so
he did not set a competitive lap time. We tried to take the car
somewhere new and he helped tremendously, with his feedback, in
that process."
The test, at the
Pembrey circuit, was offered as a prize for the highest-placed
Mygale driver in British Formula Ford, one which MacLeod secured
easily thanks to his 14 wins in the Ford-backed championship.
Another of MacLeod's prizes for winning the BFFC is a free entry
and registration for British F3 in 2008.
MacLeod's next
outing is at Brands Hatch next week (19-21 Oct) where he starts as
pre-event favourite for the Formula Ford Festival. |
