Who can win the F3 race in Macau GP?

hys911 · 11 Nov 2004, 06:30 (Ref:1150054)

I think Nelson Piquet can win. What do you think?

Jamie Green

Jamie Green

mcurtis26 · 11 Nov 2004, 18:01 (Ref:1150679)

TBH just about anybody could win in Macau

Mathias · 11 Nov 2004, 18:04 (Ref:1150685)

It's Macau. From what many people say, anybody could win.

Piquet, Green, Salignon, Carroll, Hamilton, Antinucci, Watts, Kubica and Premat I reckon will be right up there with good chances, but if I put money on one person, I'd say Green.

Gaz · 11 Nov 2004, 18:05 (Ref:1150686)

I think Antinucci will get pole thanks largely to his TOMS powerplant, but he'll probably blow things in his accustomery style and hand the win to Jamie Green. Don't think Piquet will even make the top 6.

Mathias · 11 Nov 2004, 18:09 (Ref:1150694)

Gazmate!!! Haven't had a barney with you for ages!

Piquet without a chance you say? He must do better than last year, surely?

Gaz · 11 Nov 2004, 18:17 (Ref:1150704)

Not with Hitech mate! Engine won't be able to compete with the Merc's and Toyota's. Plus I don't rate Piquet's chances, he did nothing there last year and without Daddy's own team running matters for him I think he'll struggle. Just my opinion though!

Bobie · 11 Nov 2004, 19:56 (Ref:1150810)

My money is on Green or Watts.

mcurtis26 · 11 Nov 2004, 20:02 (Ref:1150821)

It'd be nice to see Jamie Green win it...is Ronnie Qunitarrelli entered?

Tweed · 11 Nov 2004, 20:08 (Ref:1150831)

Yes, he's with Ing-Ing I think.

flexible-flyer · 11 Nov 2004, 22:02 (Ref:1150950)

its macau. so really anyone can win it. having super cars helps. so jamie green would get the nod. but he was **** at the masters results-wise and macau is a case of driving as carfully as you can let alone as fast as you can.

hys911 · 12 Nov 2004, 02:20 (Ref:1151120)

Well........ My concern is whether the Mer engine is fast on the straight in the Guia circuit. It has over 2 KM long straight. Toyota power unit are always great, but i doubt if Mercedes can beat Toyota on the straight.

He did run with Hitech last year, and a Hitech won Korea with Antinucci at the helm... Admittedly the Renault hasn't come on as much as other engines this year though, so it probably is a bit of a wildcard as you say.

Green it is then.

That was when Renault gave the engines works backing, this season they haven't and they've been run soley by Sodemo I'm led to believe. Without manufacturer backing they just can't keep up with the might of Merc, Toyota and Mugen-Honda.

Mathias · 12 Nov 2004, 16:55 (Ref:1151753)

Fair dos.

strider · 12 Nov 2004, 17:16 (Ref:1151767)

Still thinking about this one (can I wait until after qualifying?) but picking up on a couple of points mentioned earlier...

Piquet is running with his own team this year. Not sure if that will be a help or a hindrance.

And despite all the denials, I'm still not not convinced that Hitech won't have at least one car with Mugen-Honda power, which could make Watts or Di Grassi contenders.

littleman · 12 Nov 2004, 18:57 (Ref:1151845)

The Renault engine has dominated Macau over the past two years,even though it didn't enjoy any factory support in 2003.Top-end performance has always been it's strong point,and as Macau is run to FIA regs,I don't believe it needs to use either a Cat or silencer.This provides a significant performance gain (note Di Grassi at the Masters),so I expect Hitech to go well.

Anybody now what tv station is covering this event. If any, or any sites.

flor · 13 Nov 2004, 14:35 (Ref:1152452)

RTP1 or something like that usually show it live

Sato san · 13 Nov 2004, 20:07 (Ref:1152643)

flor · 14 Nov 2004, 17:17 (Ref:1153283)

i dont know since im not from the uk, but it could also be on RTPi, which is a mix of RTP1 and 2, and the chance to get RTPi could be higher
