Melksham, UK – Donington Park plays host to the final rounds of the Cooper Tires British Formula 3 Championship and Avon Tyres British GT Championship over the weekend of 13-14 September.

Both championships will take to the Donington Park Grand Prix track, “widely acknowledged as one of the world's great circuits; the fast, sweeping curves and undulation changes making it a worthy venue for the end of season showdown”.

The battle for the 2014 Cooper Tires British Formula 3 Championship title lies with the Fortec Motorsport duo Martin Cao and Matt Rao, with only 15 points between them heading into the final event of the year.

Ahead of the seventh and final round of the Avon British GT season, #79 Ecurie Ecosse driver Marco Attard is enjoying a commanding lead in the GT3 Drivers Championship with 148.5 points from teammate Alexander Sims on 129.5, with only the driver combo of the #4 Oman Racing Team Aston of Ahmad Al Harthy and Michael Caine able to beat him.

Qualifying for the Cooper Tires British F3 Series and Avon Tyres British GT Championship will take place on Saturday 13 September, with the final British F3 and British GT races of the season being held on Sunday 14 September.
