backF3: Hitech victory at Silverstone
Visiting Dutch driver Renger van der Zande enjoyed a dream debut in the Cooper Tires British Formula 3 International Series at Silverstone, leading the championship's third round all the way from lights to chequered flag to score a resounding victory for the Hitech Racing team.
The 23-year-old, whose Hitech drive was confirmed a matter of hours before the meeting, displayed immense confidence on a circuit he had never before raced to claim the team's first victory since its championship-winning season in 2007. It was also the first win of 2009 for engine supplier Mercedes.
"I only did 29 laps of free practice," said Renger. "But I managed to set a good time in qualifying. The car was very good, the team did a great job, and that helped me a lot. It was decided at the start really; I made a good start and drove away. But the race wasn't easy because of the wind, which blew me off the track one time. After that I took things a little easier. I think this is a good entry to the championship and I'm happy with it. I'm not sure about the rest of year yet, for sure I would like to come back and do more races."
Hitech rely on PAGID RS5 friction materials which offers both un-rivelled levels of consistent braking ability, with an extremely controllable friction behavour. This allowed Renger to jump straight into the car and set consistently quick laptimes.
Hitech also use a ZF Sachs carbon racing clutch in their cars, giving them the edge from the start line. Renger launched the car from second place on the grid to take the lead into the first corner, keeping the lead for the rest of the race, and setting fastest lap in the process.
