Monkey Head should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
FIA F3 Intercontinental Cup - 56th Macau GP

As all of main F3 championships about to finish ,it should be a time for discussing the grand final of the F3 calander now.
double year winner TOM'S trying to get their har-trick with Ericsson for no doubt but his teamate in Macau depend on final championship standing in JF3,higher ranking Japanese(Iguchi or Kunimoto) will be elected.Not sure on other Japanese teams' willing may be TODA will go as they have a Macau experience driver Cozzolino and new team director(Hiroki Katoh).

for what I heard Carlin is going to bring one less car than preivous year's 4 cars.Ricciardo and Hartley should be lined on there and remaining seat possibly belong to Vanthoor,as we have seen in Zandoovrt.However can we see full RBJ line with Wickens join,if VW put Vanthoor to other teams?(that's crazy)For Hitech except their requlars ,Max Chiliton would filling the third car.Double R may be a full asian package with Nakajima,or Kevin Chen(well) or Micheal Ho.Not sure other UK teams.

ART has dominated all the F3 trophies except Macau in recent year,and Bianchi should be the man to break the spell(may be depend how today's crash affect his form,despite he has not to sideline in forcoming weekends I can see).No idea how many cars they will bring,may be 3?if so Bottas and Gutierrez should be his teamates.Prema is a requlars too and Coletti and Chinoshi should be their answer(unless Shaaban has more $$ then either one of them).Maki would be the first driver of Singature ,however Vernay hasn't made Macau visit with 2 years in the team.
In manor except Merhi British driver like Sims and Bird would be a choice as Mucke won't go to Macau and the Brazilians doesn't looing good at all.

Any other information are welcome to be share here.

Well, I think the line-up of this race would be:

Tom's : Ericsson/Kunimoto
ART GP: Bianchi/Tambay/Bottas
Manor: Merhi/Sims/Bird/Ramos
PTRS: Imperatori
Singature-Plus: Maki/Frankie Cheng
Hitech : Van der Zande/Grubmuller/Michael Ho
Raikkonen: Nakajima/Kevin Chen/Mustonen
Carlin: Chilton/Arundel/Ricciardo/Vanthoor
Prema: Shaaban/Coletti
Barazi Eplison: Richelmi
Toda: Cozzolino
Fortec: Garcia/Christodoulou

and some possible entries:

Adderly Fong
Ma Qing Hua
Christian Vietoris
Stef Dussendorp (ATS F3 Championship)
Brendon Hartley

Some of them have told me they will race in Macau. (like Roberto Merhi)

I can't see Kunimoto coming back to Macau. He has too much to lose.

It would be great for Ericsson to win Macau and fire a reminder back to europe about his talent. He was pretty mega in Brit F3 and I would put him on a similar level to Bianchi and Ricciardo.

We shall see.........

I think you are even more optimistic than the driver himself. Well, if there is a massive pile up at Lisboa and the whole field is wiped out except Mr. Ho who arrives too late to be involved, then he might actually have a chance.

I am not sure TOM's still has an advantage over the rest, but Ericsson is a good bet.

Whoever races for TOM's will have the best chances of winning, so it's Ericsson's race really. But my money is on Daniel Ricciardo.

I really hope Ericsson wins it , but my bet is Bianchi ( so dominant this year).
Sims has fastest lap time in macau 2008 ( bmw asia) - he also have good chance of winning it.

My bet would probably be Hartley. Very strong on street circuits (Bucharest last year, Monaco in WSR, Macau last year), depending obviously on how good the TOMS car is, if the TOMS car is again dominant, then I'd have my money on Erickson.

I've yet to see Ricciardo on a street circuit, but will be interesting to see how he gets on...

Vanthoor could be a dark horse, he finished 6th last year in his first year of racing. I wouldn't count out Bird here either, he has been amongst the top 6 for the past 2 years running.
