Inside F1 takes title lead

PATRICK LONG, the Inside F1 Young Driver of the Year, won Sunday's round of the Slick 50 British Formula Ford Zetec Championship and has now moved to the head of the championship standings. The 19-year-old from California is expected to test for the Jaguar Formula 3 team in the next few months with a view to joining the operation for next year's British Formula 3 championship.

The Inside F1 Young Driver Scheme is designed to help promote a young American driver to Formula 1 to increase interest in the sport in the United States of America.

The Inside F1 organization is the parent company of GrandPrix.com.
