September 2017 September 2017 thumb|250px|Layout of the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit (1976–1998) After the 18th and final round of the 1988 B.A.R.C./B.R.D.C. Lucas Formula Three British Championship, the mobile telephone company Cellnet, who were already sponsoring the Intersport Racing team, organised an invitation non championship, end of season race. This race was held at Brands Hatch, on 9 October. Although Avon Tyres still supplied the tyres, Cellnet decided to increase interest by introducing a compulsory wheel change mid-race. They requested that the changes should be visible to spectators, so Avon came up with the idea of painting the whole side of the tyres.http://www.barc.net/startline-magazine/june-july-2010 The British Automobile Racing Club: June / July 2010 17 November 2013 https://archive.today/20131118023033/http://www.barc.net/startline-magazine/june-july-2010 18 November 2013 dead dmy-all Report Entry A total of 39 F3 cars were entered for this event.

Race The race was held over 45 wet laps of the Brands Hatch Indy circuit. With a full grid of 28 cars, the start was quite a fraught affair as various drivers, with nothing to lose, took risks not usually attempted during a championship race. This ended in tears for some. Damon Hill didn't even finish the first lap and Kenny Bräck and Jonathan Bancroft went out in the next lap. During the race, the wheel changing was full of drama as the teams finally put into practice what they had been learning, some successfully, others not! Paul Warwick in his Eddie Jordan Racing Reynard was also victim retiring after an overheated engine. Gary Brabham took the winner spoils for the Bowman Racing team, driving their Ralt-Volkswagen RT32. The Aussie won in a time of 37:10.92mins., averaging a speed of 87.436 mph. Second place went to Jason Elliott and Sweden's Rickard Rydell finishing third. The ‘fastest wheel change’ prize of £1,000 in loose £1 coins in a sack, was won by Middlebridge Racing which was a bit of a bonus a their driver, Phil Andrews, had driven a good race to finish 5th.Darren Galpin http://www.teamdan.com/archive/www2/miscf3/88miscf3.html#cs 1988 Miscellaneous Formula 3 Races Teamdan.com 2014-03-05 https://web.archive.org/web/20150924121259/http://www.teamdan.com/archive/www2/miscf3/88miscf3.html#cs 24 September 2015 dead Classification Race Class winners in bold Pos.
