Does anyone know if the f3 or GT race are being broadcast live (or re-live) anywhere??

They both have really good international lineups so i would be looking forward to watching them this year.

kevin korjus, blimey that's a surprise. really looking forward to seeing how that comes out in the wash.

i think it's marciello's this year, but da costa is on such a massive roll at the moment in everything else that he could just do it...

a little Trivia: both Eriksson and Korjus are driving Lotus livery car this year which is Black with Gold as same as Galaxy's color scheme last year.....what a 'match'!

my apologies
the total entries should be 30, as same as 2011

edenrace · 10 Oct 2012, 17:27 (Ref:3149543)

30 entries as this is the 30th Macau F3 race.

ptclaus98 · 10 Oct 2012, 18:01 (Ref:3149562)

Another year with no Americans. Will be rooting for Hirakawa, then.

Same thought as you
In my opinion, Lewis's performance is much better than van Asseldonk, pretty don't know why Prema made this decision

May not be Prema Drops Lewis ,it is possible for Lewis has other commitment or not willing to do Macau or Budget etc.

ptclaus98 · 11 Oct 2012, 13:55 (Ref:3149978)

It's probably budget for Lewis. And maybe for Daly as well.

edenrace · 11 Oct 2012, 15:17 (Ref:3150005)

May have nothing to do with it but the US GP is on the same weekend

EastonNeston · 11 Oct 2012, 20:40 (Ref:3150117)

Michael Lewis will have commitments for Caterham F1 at teh F1 event.

What kind of commitments? FP1 Drive?

Alternatively, it's the total number the latest Dallara chassis to have been built.

I have no idea who is going to win. It's strongest entry list in years and anything can happen in Macau.

The drivers have to have competed in an F3 race during the season to be eligible. Felipe Nasr is doing the next F3ES round with Carlin, but Antonio Felix da Costa and Kevin Korjus are contesting some form of F3 race elsewhere. I can only think of the MSV F3 Cup, but that's not an FIA series with current cars.

Because they have Formula Renault 3.5 commitments they are unable to do the F3ES round at Hockenheim. They will both be competing in the MSV F3 Cup round at Snetterton instead. Felix da Costa will be in the F308 campaigned by Jazeman Jaafar in 2011 and Korjus will drive Duvashen Padayachee's F308 from this year.

Dallara has built about 50 F312s.

Juntos · 13 Oct 2012, 09:19 (Ref:3150789)

Hard to believe. With so many talented F3 drivers around why did Double R pick up a guy who never race a F3 before? Sometimes looking for answers only leads to more questions. And sometimes you're better off not knowing.

Ok, okay. Mea culpa. I guess that must be right taking Japan into account as well.

If you're talking about Kevin Korjus, see bella's comments above. It's a very interesting entry.

JohnMiller · 13 Oct 2012, 13:18 (Ref:3150898)

F312s so far this year, I think:

F3 Euroseries -15

European F3 Open -13

British F3 - 12

Japanese F3 - 8?

Plus there are a few yet-to-be-raced cars around.

I think actually F312s;
only 5 in Japan
10-11 in F3 Open
12 in F3 Euro Series
And you are right, 12 in British F3.
And it stands to reason that not all F3 drivers are going to do Macau. Made it pretty tight for the Macau organisers I'm sure..

And as for Korjus, that kid will be good. He's shown he's able to adapt quickly, and was very impressive on his first visit to Monaco in FR3.5.

I think I am fairly well positioned when I say there are 13.

I believe that is a correct number BUT it's a pretty expensive job to make an F3 Open spec F312 car into a full spec FIA F312 car...

You meant a short of a sheet of bark, right?

Is the entry list going to stay like this till November or is someone moving up to GP3 ahead of time?

Since when is Lewis a Caterham driver?

That's this weekend.

Da Costa slaughtered the opposition in qualifying, as you would expect, but 9 seconds is a heck of a margin over the next man. Korjus was 3rd and maybe a bit disappointing, but better safe than sorry and there are two races tomorrow.
