No, Asian F3 is going really well this year. As far as the popularity of the series is concerned they are getting crowds of 20,000+.

The Live Television coverage of each event is getting good ratings, and growing for each event.

As far has the drivers:

Mikola now races for A1 Team Indonesia

Jones did some A1 driving

Avila is racing Formula Three in the UK

And O’hara is running his own team in Asian F3.

So this is all good news for Asian F3 because it demonstrates that it is giving drivers the opportunity to progress their careers.

And while these 4 drivers have left Asian F3, the category has picked up the following drivers for this year.

Ali Jackson (Ireland)

Dillon Battistini (Great Britain)

Satria Hermanto (Indonesia)

Bagoes Hermanto (Indonesia)

Gabby Dela Merced (Girl from the Philippines, Philippine Touring Car Champion 2005)

Michele Bumgarner (Girl from the Philippines, won a heat of the ICA Kart Championship)

LouMend Cheong (Macau)

There is also talk of three other drivers coming into the series at the Indonesian event at Sentul.

Formula Three is a stepping-stone category, if the drivers stayed in it for the whole of their careers, it wouldn't be doing its job….
