Formula Asia V6 - 2009 - Page 3

I'll think you'll find that there's one person in particular who is very anti-Goddard. I don't see a problem with him running a team in his series (it happens from time to time, just look at many of the Radical series in Europe), although I think running himself under a fake alias was a bit too much. And look back at the previous years, it's not like Eurasia as been the dominant force in the past.

To his defence every time Mark Goddard run under 'Don Tacos' it was in an old beat up f3 and he was doing a few laps before retiring just to make the numbers.

You'll always have problem when an entity is involved in both running a serie and a team, look FRD.

I know he did that, but why? How does that solve anything? Seven cars instead of six? And even if you come up with compelling reasons for adding that extra (pointless) car, surely he should have gotten anyone but himself to drive it?

Track day gentlemen drivers, I'd imagine. But yeah, they'll be a hard sell to anyone.

Think you wll find this has happened in many formula in the past. I know for a fact that in previous times when OZ F3 has been down on numbers the likes of Bronte Rundle Team BRM owner,(and a director of the series at the time) and others had started races to make up the numbers. Sometimes as championships must present a minimum no. of cars to race and other times just to make it appear better at the start of races when the grid is formed.

Well its no wonder that there is no competetive single seater championship in Asia. When you get someone who is actually willing to invest there time and money in a series and has the right experience you all attack them and slang them off. No wonder no one of any knowledge wants to work there. The only relevent formula there at the mo is GP2 Asia and that is primarily a European run championship.

Ok folks I've been watching this thread with interest ( and a few others regional threads in this section of Ten-Tenths) and whilst at this stage i'm not going to single anyone out, i've seen on several ocassions that it steps into the realms of 'silly' irrelevant bickering.

I'd like to remind you all to read our FAQ's about posting in threads and respect to other posters

Please guys, I know you are passionate about your regions series and the merits (or not) of organisers etc, but please refrain from publically attacking entrants, competitors and most importantly each other. There is also the issue of potential libellous comments which if taken the wrong way could get the site into trouble.

So please play nice and keep discussions friendly and respect each others opinions even if you don't agree!!

Many thanks,
chunterer

Why a team would buy a FR V6 if there is "no Life" for these car in Asia?

True, no sense again.

Well said.

Darcia1 · 26 Mar 2009, 03:37 (Ref:2424968)

GUYS as i have said in earlier posts.regarding AF3 the series in 07/08 was struggling . the series original founder Mr e Pena pulled his money out. 2 the al farden saga did not help who won the german series fredrik. Al Fardan nowhere. 3 shipping costs exceeded budgets. the two major team directors ran the series not ideal and they both told me this but they tried to keep the series going. 4 cars wheather they are f3 v6 gp2 will always be for sale in Europe as there is no market for them in there own countrys 4 dallars came to Australia for hillclimbs or sprint purposes and we are happy with our purchases from the af3 corporation . if there was a market they would have stayed in Asia full stop....

Sun 1 · 26 Mar 2009, 13:58 (Ref:2425276)

I think we should all go back talking about Asia FR.....

Albeckinho · 26 Mar 2009, 16:33 (Ref:2425370)

Australia has it's own Lam Pak? Great!

Totally agree , Asian F3 does not exist anymore... Lets leave all the stories behind and lets talk about FR V6 Asia Please

mark wiliamson test zic past week. times were very slow. taradtm dont look so nice this year. no good in formula renault. now no very good in formula asia v6. maybe its because they race gt's now. longtime ago they were good. this is not good for asia v6 cause meritus was dominant in 08. past goes by.
