    Motorsport Information International Volkswagen Motorsport Newsletter 35/2018 § Formula 3: Daniel Ticktum defends title – Volkswagen bows out with one-two-three win § Volkswagen most successful engine manufacturer in Macau with eleven Formula 3 victories § WTCR: Robert Huff on the podium twice in the Golf GTI TCR FIA Formula 3 World Cup Commanding start-finish-victory: Daniel Ticktum wins turbulent Macau Grand Prix Daniel Ticktum (GB) is the triumphant victor of the FIA Formula 3 World Cup in Macau. The 19-year-old Brit of Team Motopark, who triumphed in the gambler’s paradise in the Far East last year, dominated throughout the race weekend and celebrated a commanding win in both races of the FIA Formula 3 World Cup. Ticktum, who set the fastest lap time in the practice session and won the qualifying race on Saturday, started the main race on Sunday from pole position and refused to surrender the lead right down to the finish line. Swedish team-mates Joel Eriksson und Sacha Fenestraz (F, Carlin) made it two other Formula 3 drivers “powered by Volkswagen” who rounded off the podium. The main race – as is so often the case in Macau – was turbulent: On the very first lap there was a collision involving four cars in the tricky Lisboa bend, which caused the safety car to be deployed. Immediately after the restart, another serious accident resulted in a lengthy interruption. After an hour was spent repairing the track barriers, the race continued. Ticktum mastered the restart perfectly and refused to give up the lead down to the chequered flag.

The FIA President, Jean Todt, opened the meeting by thanking Vijay Mallya and Vicky Chandhok for their hospitality and for hosting the week of FIA meetings in India. The following decisions were taken: FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Changes to the 2012 Technical Regulations • All engine standard ECU set up and control parameters, which were formerly contained only within a Technical Directive, are now contained within the relevant parts of the Technical Regulations. • The exhaust tailpipes are now strictly regulated in order to ensure that the aerodynamic effect exhaust gases have on the car is kept to an absolute minimum. • Better marking of in-car emergency switches operated by marshals are now stipulated. • The side impact structures will now have to be subjected to a further (upward) push-off test. Changes to the 2012 Sporting Regulations • Cars may no longer take part in pre-season testing without having passed all crash tests. • There will now be a maximum race time of four hours to ensure that a lengthy suspension of a race does not result in a race that could run up to eight hours if left unregulated. • Before the safety car returns to the pits all lapped cars will be allowed to unlap themselves and then join the back of the pack, ensuring a clean re-start without slower cars impeding those racing for the leading positions.
