Bottas is a great driver, but I do put all my money in Mortara.

[Richard Head]

I wonder if anyone will get under the 2' 10's??? Should be perfect conditions at that time of day!

[Andy77]

Very wisely by the look of it.Easy win the Qualification race. Bottas is saying he needs more speed.

[brakedisc]

Very wise by the result of it.

It seems that BF3 teams and competitors struggled in Macau.
Carlin and the BF3 Champion did not shine, Double R had a nightmare trip and the rest made up the numbers. Any excuses?

[ivanalesi]

What about TOM's performance this year? They were backmarkers! At the front the driver quality is as good as always, but with GP3 the quality in the mid field and at the back went down.

With regards to Greenlight TV, are they going to show the raced on their website, or do they have a channel on sky tv?

Mortara won it then, Bottas third and Van Der Zande 5th.

Was it Vanthoor second?

Yes. There was the usual carnage. I was surprised that da Costa beat Vergne, but they both did well considering they were late arrivals.

it sounded from the autosport race report that there was a good battle for the lead - daniel abt did pretty well on his first visit (though i guess he had the best car for it...) but evidently he didn't listen to his team manager because he threw it in the wall, and that's the number one macau rule isn't it

Yes it is. Sometimes I wonder why half the people who go there bother, because it's very expensive, they're never going to get a good result and there's a good chance they'll damage their cars.

But then you hear Renger van der Zande say what a fabulous circuit it is, and for F3 I think you'd agree it's the best in the world, so I suppose it makes sense. You've had the Macau experience.

[bella]

to be fair, if it isn't on the list of races to go to before you die, you're not as into motorsport as you think you are.

[strider]

I've been three times and in one of the books they published about Macau there's a photo of me to prove it! I may have looked a fraction younger.

[50-SIX]

Mortara seems to have his feet firmly on the ground....

[chunterer]

Well I imagine that looking for a paid drive in something like DTM is perhaps better for him at the moment than scratching about tryying to raise money for more FR3.5 or GP2.

Just that for someone who is so talented (although he wasn't mega in 3.5 or GP2 before he must be good to win Macau twice!) he needs to keep some focus on his single seater aspirations, as many a decent driver in the past have gone to DTM for Merc or Audi and then got stuck there in a way. The likes of Green, Jarvis, Spengler more recently and then Magnussen and Franchitti way back

[strider]

For those of you who can't wait to see some Macau action, here's a nice video in which Sergio Perez had a hand, although the race footage is standard stuff:
