I am as big a fan as anyone of Macau, but nowadays it has two problems.

The first is cost. Apart from anything else, there is always accident damage and increasingly the insurance companies either don't want to know or put a very high excess on any claim.

The second is that GP2 teams test around the same time and some drivers wanting to move up might prefer to spend their money on that.

It's a shame because Macau remains the best F3 race on the calendar and nowadays the only one that provides a fair comparison between the various championships and drivers.

I would like to see a strong representation from the UK, but this year I'm not sure.
