Lam pak you are wrong again:
Kevin want to do something else Jeffrey won't drive again So far i could see Mark Wiliamson, Charlez, Hafiz Koh, Robin Tato racing again. Some rumors about two new drivers for CT. Where did you hear that M3 is joining the teams in V6? |

it dont rocks. no drrivers are anounce. there are way more heinous on news with more glossary. afos web site say nothing. championship was shiny before. teams lik meritus, taradtm, champ and superchamp help a lot afos but ct got bankrupt and eurasia was clinched by f3 asia scandal. the financial crisis around the world has been touted in teams like champ and things dont appear to be grim for drivers.champ hasnt drivers still.i think the champisonhip can finish like fa2.0. die soon.

I've heard the required budget is pretty small compared to F3, something lower than 100k EU, so there should be interest considering that the car is not bad at all.

sorry?? Formula Renault V6 not a bad car? these cars are lacking of reliability I am not sure about 100K Euros, but anyway if you want to do a professional career in motorsport, you will have to find much bigger budget than that to Race in Europe, i do not believe being champion of Formula Renault V6 Asia would help in anyway... look at James Winslow. The only one who has made his way true is Karun Chabdhok, but he has serious backings behind him Btw ,what is happening for the 2008 Champion James Grunwell any plan for him Last edited by META4; 21 Feb 2009 at 19:07. |

For this amount of cash, carbon tube car with 3.5l engine isn't bad at all :P It's certainly better than FPA

I would prefer to race Palmer Audi than FOrmula Renault V6 Asia. At least in FPA you have scholarship prize to get to Formula 2 championship. Formula Renault V6 Asia is not even recognized by Renault Sport, not even a test with World Series by Renault |

actually budget are around 200 k which is pretty cheap for this kiind of cars.
It is stll the best training for a1gp or gp2 asia in asia at that price,as it was said 400 hp,pasddle shift,etc... not sure why no more drivers. Car are not unreliable,teams are responsible for most of the problems. If you look at Meritus or TaraDTM they finish pretty much all races . It is a complex car though so you need men with knowledge and means to maintain it. Still for 200k us you don't even do one yaer in FR or FBMW in europe. |

lots of people suffer from headaches all the time but are they just migraine of jealous. fv6 was father of motorsports in asia. the single seaters kings. a shame afos is taking out the suport to teams. they stop promoting the championship. before was beter. the ramblings of a life obsessed with other is taking fv6 out of ranks. afos need to push again for the championship. many cars are stop in garages. its need to take it out. i think the champisonhip can finish like fa2.0. die soon. all very smoth the championship is beter than fpa. fpa is for dummies. i dont understand fv6 should get fnippon! in the recent apostrophe fv6 must be the a1gp and gpp2 asia training ground for asian drivers.

I knew that James Winslow's season was that cheap, but then may be his team had sponsors. On 200k EU, it's not such a bargain

This series has no future, AFOS is better off pushing for a standard spec Asian F3 series.

Good Idea actually,the scandal AF3/ Goddard killed the F3 Asian Racing and it could be a good car for AFOS to get back.....AFOS has no team involve so the problem caused by Goddard wont happen again.

Did you consider that F3 will be more expansive,plus i don't see teams having money to buy f3 currently.
I think for this year afos and team should stick to the v6 |

Basically Goddard was accused to run the series and promote his own team/drivers by using his power of series organizer/promoter, in an other word, he could cheat easily and no one could protest against his cars.....

Asian F3 was basically half price of running F3 in Europe.

Right,plus the fact his F3 is an international recognized series unlike the V6.
Driver racing this car in Asia could go back to Europe or japan and race the same cars |

Last time Goddard could find a ride for the Asian F3 winner to race in Macau, so the driver could get some exposure and connection with the top F3 teams in the world, too.
