Michael ho has no chance lol

If I were a betting man I would put money on Render van der Zande.

[N.A-D.R]

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.

[ivanalesi]

Roberto Merhi for me :P A wild guess

[sauber11]

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...

[Valker]

ATS F3 cup champion Laurens Vanthoor will race for Signature in Macau.

[runshaw]

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.

No team switch for Max Chiltion and this race will be his final race of F3 age....

After some discussions with my friends and some news from the Net, I adjust my prediction:

Tom's : Ericsson/Kunimoto
ART GP: Bianchi/Tambay/Bottas
Manor: Merhi/Sims/Bird
KCMG: Imperatori
Singature-Plus: Maki/Vanthoor
Hitech : Van der Zande/Grubmuller
Raikkonen: Nakajima/Kevin Chen/Mustonen
Carlin: Ricciardo/Chilton
Prema: Coletti/Shaaban/Campos-Hull
Toda: Cozzolino
Fortec: Garcia/Christodoulou

and some possible entries:

Adderly Fong
James Winslow
Christian Vietoris
Brendon Hartley
Kimiya Sato
Esteban Gutierrez

[META4]

I reckon the Tom's pair will be Iguchi/Ericsson or Kunimoto/Iguchi

Any information where from KCMG will get the Dallara F-308 as they run national class in Japan with F306

Any chance to see drivers like Roberto Streit ,Marco Asmer,Brendon Hartley

[brucelok2003]

META, I got some news that Roberto Streit focuses on GT racing. (w/ Bernoldi in FIA GT).

For Hartley, I think he may step up to GP2/ WSR since he had tried twice in Macau, and scored a podium last year. That's why I guess he may not come.

Of course everything can change. So let's wait and see.

For me the favourites have to be Hartley 3rd time lucky, Bianci, Ricciardo, Erikson if Toyota a rocket again , and on current form Max Chilton who has outpaced all these drivers over the final two rounds of BF3.

er... where did you get your results from? At Portimao, Bianchi (ART) and Bird (in a Fortec car) beat him fair and square.

Judging by qualifying pace he was front row both races with a pole and a close second in Algarve. Start seemed to let him down but at Brands good starts a win a second and a fastest lap with Ricciardo and Ericcson two of the favourites in the field.
He has to be in the running having been at Macau last year but Hartley third time remains favourite with Ericcson and the Toyota power?
