Championnat de France de Formule 3

Rouen-les-Essarts, 13 Jun 1982

All cars are 2-litre F3 unless noted.

Notes on the cars:

1. Ralt RT3/82 [329] (Pierre Petit): Sold to Dave Price Racing in May 1982 as new chassis for Petit to use in French series. Then run for Bengt Tragardh (Autosport 14 Oct 1982). Run by DPR for Johnny Dumfries in 1983 (Autosport 'ex Petit/Tragardh').
2. Ralt RT3/82 [294] (Philippe Huart): One of two cars delivered new to Dave Price Racing in late Feb and early March 1982. However, they may be distinguished by driver as one [294] is delivered with a VW engine, and the other [297] has a Toyota. The latter is, therefore, Petit's car for the French series. 294 was an early season car for Martin Brundle, used until completely destroyed in a French series round at Dijon on May 16 1982. Price was confident it could be rebuilt around a new tub [MN 27.5.82 p.20] and it was probably eventually used by Petit after 297 was sold to Bernard Santal in July 1982.
3. Chevron B47 [47.79.02] (Patrick Lecompte): New to Michael Roe and entered by David Clark Team Riva Watches for Roe to race in British F3 in 1979. Unknown in 1980. To Patrick Lecompte and raced in French F3 in 1981 and 1982. Then to Bernard Pourchet, and raced by him in the 1600cc class of French hillclimbs in 1983 and 1984. In 1986, Pourchet had the carv extensively rebuilt by Jean-Pierre Navarro as the Chevron P86, with a strengthened monocoque and new bodywork. Pourchet was very successful in this car. Later owners in France are said to have been Kieffer and Gache. By 2007, it had been acquired by Dominique Kieffer and restored for French Classic Formula 3. By 2011, it had passed to Daniel Gache, who entered it for the HSCC Brands Hatch "Super Prix" in July 2011. Subsequent history unknown.
