Former Natioꦿnal Class title winner Jay Bridger is looking to dovetail a third season☂ in the British F3 International Series with some sportscar outings for the 2010 season.

Bridger, who won the National Class in 2008 before stepping up the Championship Class this year, spent a day at the wheel of a Porsche 911 GT💫3 run by Lake Motorsport at Silverstone last week and could now drive the car in 2010 alongside his F3 commitments.

The Berlin-based team is lo💙oking to run the ex-RPM car in the German VLN Series and in the Nurburgring 24 Hou꧃rs in 2010.

"It was great to have a test in the Porsche and get a feel for GT cars," Bridger said. "It is a great car to drive and is very different to single-seaters. However🧔 I soon got to grips with the car and was very happy with the lap times.

"We are looking 🌸at all options for next year and a move into GT racing alongside a further season in British Formula 3 is definitely of interest."

Bridger started the 2009 season running with West-Tec in his Mygale Mugen-Honda be👍fore switching to Litespeed - eventꦬually finishing the season 15th in the championship standings.
