Last weekend (22 August) 18-year-old Laurens Vanthoor secured the title in the ATS Formula 3 Cup as early as four races before the finale of the championship.
The personable Belgian thus continues Volkswagen’s proud success story in German Formula 3. His predecessors include today’s Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen, DTM record champion Bernd Schneider as well as seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher and Tom Kristensen, who – with eight exploits under his belt – is the record winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. By now, Formula 3 has not only made a name for itself as a junior racing class but is considered a stepping stone for the international cockpits of the DTM and Formula 1. Whether Lewis Hamilton, Robert Kubica, Nico Rosberg or Sebastian Vettel – they all went through the tough school of Formula 3 in their careers. The racing cars which tip the scales at merely 540 kg are powered by 2-litre 210-hp engines and, thanks to highly competitive fields of contenders, provide spectacular racing and fertile soil for future careers.

Formula 3 Euro Series at Zandvoort (NL)
Jake Rosenzweig is highly pleased: The American celebrated his first podium finish in the Formula 3 Euro Series; Jean Karl Vernay has defended his third place in the standings.
This is the positive tally achieved by Volkswagen in the Formula 3 Euro Series season’s seventh and eighth rounds at Zandvoort. Jake Rosenzweig, who contests the major junior series for Team Carlin Motorsport “powered by Volkswagen”, captured third place in Sunday’s race on the tradition-steeped dune circuit. The result marked the first podium finish in the 20-year-old racer’s career in the Formula 3 Euro Series. On Saturday, Jean Karl Vernay barely missed clinching another podium position: The Frenchman from Team Signature saw the chequered flag in fourth place. Vernay came fifth in the weekend’s second race, in which the top eight contenders from the previous day start in reverse order, thus defending his third place in the overall standings with these two point-finishes.
The young drivers “powered by Volkswagen” successfully finished the second race weekend of the Formula 3 Euro Series at the EuroSpeedway with a podium position and three additional points finishes. Jean Karl Vernay (France/Team Signature) mounted the winners’ podium in third place on Saturday and on Sunday was deprived of scoring an additional good result by a collision in which he was not at fault. Red Bull Junior Brendon Hartley (New Zealand/Carlin Motorsport) clinched two fourth places in the races, thus scoring his first points this season.
