British Grand Prix support race.
One
of six international F3 events, Michael started the
15 lap encounter from the fourth row of the grid his
Carlin Motorsport Dallara/Honda after setting the seventh
fastest time in qualifying on Friday.
In
the race the Ibstock Brick/Clonakilty Black Pudding
backed driver was involved in an early battle with Briton
Robbie Kerr until the ADR driver suffered a fuel pump
failure. This left the Irishman 6th where he would remain
for the remainder of the prestigious Grand Prix support
race.

Heikki Kovalainen winning from Brazilian team-mate and
