Australia’s fastest racers, Formula 3 will be one of six classes in action at the fast and flowing Victorian circuit in Round Three of the Shannons Nationals.

In May 2007, Tander created international motor racing history at Phillip Island, becoming the first female to win a Formula 3 race, going on to finish second in the Australian Championship.
