January may be to early for teams and drivers?
that event may be postponed to May to be one of PanDelta Festival event's race

Lightning Bug · 28 Nov 2006, 16:25 (Ref:1776755)

I bet there's a few drivers in Europe keen to go out for the Aus GP support, like Senna did this year. And Zhuhai, if it happens.

Chucky · 29 Nov 2006, 06:08 (Ref:1777137)

Looks like they've finally given up and joined the Australian championship.

Asa · 1 Dec 2006, 03:36 (Ref:1779202)

They are not giving up, they are setting themselves up to become a Winter Series from 07-08 season onwards, so that more European and Japanese drivers may join the series.

Cheyne · 2 Dec 2006, 01:37 (Ref:1779928)

No chance on the series returning to Batangas?

Cheyne

S_Fox · 9 Dec 2006, 05:23 (Ref:1785655)

I hope they race at Batangas again.

That's an awesome circuit!

Monkey Head · 9 Dec 2006, 13:17 (Ref:1785831)

referr to S_Fox and Cheyne
AF3 Pacific series just a sub. series of it
now main series has been switch to winter status
so that is not equal to Batangas dropped
(be honest no Batangas AF3 same as DTM no Hockenheim)

btw,I heard champ motorsport is going to join Pacific series too

S_Fox · 20 Dec 2006, 13:04 (Ref:1795736)

Just saw on asianf3.net that Walter Grubmuller has signed to race for Aran Racing.

And also a new team is entering series.

Interesting.....

Asa · 21 Dec 2006, 06:35 (Ref:1796467)

It is good to hear that interest is quite high, I hope we see some good races in 2007.

Oh, the final round has been moved one week ahead to 23-24 June.

Asa · 2 Jan 2007, 08:44 (Ref:1803205)

Sentul replaces Oran Park for round 3 and the date is changed to May.

Are you sure that Grubmüller is doing the whole season, not just the first round at Zuhai?

Bezzen · 12 Jan 2007, 14:40 (Ref:1813258)

I'm not sure of anything...

I just read another version of the article that about Forsman. It seems that it's only finalized that Forsman will drive the Zuhai rounds and the rest if he can get his hand on some more money. Otherwise he will run in the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC series for Trackstar Racing.

Just read that Asian F3 champion James Winslow will race in the Australian f3 championship in 2007. Very strange move IMO, it isn't a step up.

JohnMiller · 17 Jan 2007, 15:02 (Ref:1817616)

Maybe it's affordable/free though...

runshaw · 17 Jan 2007, 15:06 (Ref:1817618)

Oh just realised he is palnning still to race in Japanese F3 alongside Aussie F3.

ADEE · 19 Jan 2007, 10:55 (Ref:1819225)

Is he racing the whole season or just the F1 support race though?

Full season, driving a Neil Brown Mugen Honda powered ex-Fortec Racing F304. Looks like James will also be living down here and working with the Piccola outfit between rounds on driver training and similar thigns.

Aus F3 is, in the grand schemes of all things Formula 3, More affordable than most. But Piccola are a quite well recourced team and have a good lineup of sponsors lined up for this year so it wouldn't surprise me if it was a good deal for James..

Moreno’s team mate, Oliver Turvey, was fourth fastest.
