My friend who works for an Asian F3 team just sent me the following facts about Asian Formula Three.

• Live Television of every event

• Prize - Fully funded drive at the Macau Grand Prix – ThreeBond Racing

• Prize - Test drives with TOM’S Formula Three team at Fuji Raceway – for 2 drivers

• Large crowd numbers – 20,000+ at the last event in China.

• Each round of the championship is treated as an event, rather than just another race. I.E press conferences, podium celebrations, stunt shows, grid girls, street drives, golf tournaments, etc (all help drivers/teams with sponsorship)

• Subsidized freight costs. Just US$1200 per car for the entire shipping of the season.

• AF3 is still a new category but already it has helped promote drivers careers. Including Ananda Mikola who drives for A1 Team Indonesia.

• One of motor sports fastest growing regions (Asia)

• The Official Asian Formula Three web site (www.AsianF3.net) is one of the top twenty most popular Asian motor sport web sites.

• Formula Three is a proven and successful formula all around the world.

So with all this, it’s clear that Asian F3 is moving in the right direction. It will take time, and a lot of hard work but Asian motor sport is getting better every year.

This is exciting for expats like me! J
