Taylor beats Courtney to F3 pole.
Mark Taylor snatched pole position for the second race in the Avon Tyres British F3 Championship at Silverstone this morning (Sunday June 2).
The British racer took the top slot by just eight thousandths of a second from championship leader James Courtney.
Courtney swept straight to the head of the time sheets early in the session but then came under attack from a clutch of drivers. Eventually it was Taylor who squeezed ahead by a tiny margin to knock the Australian off the top slot.
