Formula 3 originally came from Belgium's (perhaps that should be Nico's) X Class. They were all 19' Bernicos with 'out of the box' 150 Merc Optis. All stripped out hulls, no kevlar/carbon build and engines bolted directly to the transom. The rest of Europe then adopted it but opened up the rules...
Excellent pictures, always love views from the pits. Looks like a great venue and weekend. Perhaps we will get there one year.
There must be a long story as to how that black Phantom 20 got there.
I'll second that, Darren is a really good guy. He made my 11 yr. old daughters suit (to her design) and he will be making her next one in the spring. Also does helmets now as well.
