Christian Jones Motorsport has bought not one but two championship winning chassis to contend the 2005 Asian Formula Three championship, by buying Nelson Piquet's British F3 winning car and Ryan Lewis's Scholarship class winner.
The team has announced it has secured the two chassis after taking ownership of the Piquet Sports Dallara F303 which
Nelson Piquet Jr took to third in the 2003 British championship before taking the title last year. In this time the Dallara achieved 13 pole positions, 12 race wins and 19 podium finishes.
The other purchase is the 2004 British Scholasrship class dominating T-Sports Dallara F300. This won the 2004 British Scholarship class with Ryan Lewis at the wheel and was a car T-Sport bought with good pedigree from Carlin Motorsport in 2001 raced by such drivers as
Takuma Sato and
Anthony Davidson.
Team owner Christian Jones is pleased with his new babies. "These new cars for my team will ensure that CJM continues to be competitive and I look forward to continuing my relationship with Neil Brown Engineering with the supply of the powerful Mugen engines," says Christian, son of 1980
Formula 1 world champion, Alan. "Their support over the last two seasons has been outstanding. They are a great engine partner to have and a real asset to CJM."
