Chipping Norton driver Alice Powell has her sights on glory at Snetterton this weekend when she competes in the F3 Cup.

The 21-year-old finished second in last year’s F3 Cup series and is hoping for a triumphant return as she makes a one-off appearance.

“I’d like to win it,” she said.

“I raced back in May at Rockingham and got two wins that weekend, so I’d like to think I could do the same again.

“I competed in the F3 Cup last year and was invited back this year and thankfully EM Lease are sponsoring me to race this weekend, as well as helping me out in Asia.”

It is part of a busy schedule for Powell, who next weekend heads off for China when the Asian Formula Renault series resumes in Shanghai.

And it’s that competition that is Powell’s current priority.

Though she admits her chances of winning it are slim.

Powell said: “I missed the first race weekend, but I’ve done the previous three now and it’s going well.

“All the tracks are new to me because I’d not raced in China before, but I’ve had two wins and I’m third in the standings.

“I’m not sure I can win it overall because I’m just too many points behind the leader – mainly because I missed the first weekend.

“But I’m going to go out there, try my best and just give it my all.”

Powell hopes to return to GP3 in the near future, after failing to find enough sponsorship in the last two years.

But she still harbours other sporting ambitions away from the track, recently trialling for the Team GB skeleton bob team and joining Reading Hockey Club.

“I’m just keeping my options open at the moment,” she said.

“I obviously had a go at the skeleton earlier this year, but didn’t make the final ten.

“It was a fantastic experience and I learned a lot about myself and the sport from doing it and I might try out for it again in 2016.

She added: “Motorsport is obviously my main priority, but it’s the most expensive sport, so it’s the most difficult to compete in.

“There are some things that are just out of my control, like sponsorship for example, which are preventing me from racing as much as I would like.”
