Andy Meyrick made the best possible start to hi🍸s British F3 International Series career, taking p𝓀ole position and victory in both races at the season opener at Oulton Park.

Meyrick confirmed his pre-season pace to take pole position for both races, and remained unchalleng🌊ed through the weekend's races to take two lights-to-flag victories.

Having spent every day in pre-season testing as the quickest National Class driver, the 22-year-old was the favourite to take victory and he🐈 went on to take pole position in the National Class and 16th place ꧋overall for both races.

Meyrick made a great start in both races and was able to challenge the pace of the International Class cars. Unchallenged by his fellow National Class racers, Meyrick romped home to t🌼wo consecutive victories, and finished twelfth overall in race one and 15th overall in race two.

"Obviously I'm pleased to have had such a stron🍷g start to the season, to take 41 points fro🍒m a possible 42 is a great confidence boost," he said. "We need to try and do the same at Croft and not get complacent. F3 is a very competitive championship and the other drivers and teams will close the gap and continue to develop, so we must do the same. There was a little more pressure this weekend, with this being my first F3 race and my home track, but there was a great atmosphere and the team gave me a perfect car for the weekend.

"I don't think I realised how important qualifying was before this weekend. Qualifying on ꦿpole for the National Class is one thing, but it really does help t🍒o be as far up the overall grid as possible. I'll be aiming to improve my qualifying performance at Croft to give myself more of an advantage in the races."
