Das captures second-place in points battle after successful weekend

INDIANAPOLIS (May 1, 2017)- Inaugural Formula 4 United States Championship Powered by Honda champion Cameron Das of Baltimore celebrated his first victory abroad in the second BRDC British Formula 3 Championship event at Rockingham Motor Speedway in Corby, England, April 28-30.

“It feels really good to get my first win of the season,” said Das. “I knew that we had a strong car but I didn’t expect to get a win quite this soon in the season. I’ve managed to get in to the groove quickly and equally our preparation has been really good so I’m extremely pleased to be on the pace from the beginning of the year.”

Following a strong day of testing on Friday, the 17-year-old stormed his way to claim his second F3 career pole position Saturday morning. He went on to finish the day with a second-place podium position before carving his way through the field during Sunday morning’s reverse grid race to claim his maiden victory. Das rounded off his race weekend with a further third-place finish.

“I want to add a huge thanks to my engineer Paul, my mechanics on the car and the rest of the Carlin crew for giving me another rapid car this weekend,” Das said. “Also, a big thanks to my sponsors Expedia, Autobahn Indoor Speedway and Red Lion Hotels for their continued support.”

After two BRDC F3 events, Das is second in championship points with only 15 points separating him from the leader. Das took his first pole and a second-place podium during the first event at Oulton Park in Cheshire, England.

Das now has a slight break before the third round of the season takes place at Snetterton at the end of the May.
