Its got to be Takuma

Did he race there last year?

Jeanburrasca81 · 16 Nov 2000, 16:40 (Ref:48630)

As an italian guy I hope its gonna be Montin, but Lechner is anice person who made his way in Japan, he's my favorite.

FEUsmart · 17 Nov 2000, 09:36 (Ref:48734)

Interesting to see that Friesacher, who's done so well in F3000 testing is down in 22nd...

I'll go for Cochet, I think. Although it's silly not to consider Sato a big threat.

Hmm...

Bit of a shocker by the boy Schekter there.
I'd like to see Narain win it, but I'd have to be pretty stupid to bet against Sato I guess.

And this Alex Yoong guy. As I understand it, he's actually quite good. Did he just have a bad run, or what??

Kwan · 23 Nov 2000, 13:24 (Ref:49632)

Sato won last year Formula Asia(F2000)race!
Both Sato and Narain KARTHIKEYAN maked a stupid mistake at the leg 1!NK was the fastest driver at that race!
At the start,Sato overtook NK but crash to the tyre -wall at first lap.and then NK also crashed to the barrier at the hill section when he had over 4 sec lead at lap 6!
finally local hero Andre Couto won !

**gomick** · 23 Nov 2000, 16:07 (Ref:49646)

Carla O · 25 Nov 2000, 14:53 (Ref:49857)

Woooohoooooooooo

finally a portuguese driver wins something!
about time!

*ahem* i'll stop my patriotism now...
