Asian Formula Renault 2008

Honestly i believe that there is no driver who deserve or have the level to race in Europe in either AFOS or Frd Championship this season

Last year there was Saarinen,Impreratori... who were rising the level but this season not much to say

What is up with Hans Lin by the way? What is he doing this season?

[Niggeer With Attitude]

Dear Brother

From some years following all the races Haans Lin was never that fast to be honest, when he won the Championship in 2005 their was no fast drivers. I can assure you if Haans Lin was racing in the AFOS this year we wont be a race winner maybe one or two podiums but in my opinion that would be it.
And from what i hear from one of my brothers is that in the 2005 championship Haans Lin use to treat the tyres.Its not the first time i hear about this.Is it real truth?

Do you know anything Brother Lam Pak? you seem to know alot about Champ.

Respect

Lam pak, What u said is true, he was easily beaten by Imperatori last year but i still believe he is better than Kwong and Kato.
I think he lose this year to Rosenqvist.

That is a funny comment, if he is a proper racing driver then he has to fight for win and not wait that other drivers gives him the win

[Sun 1]

What I meant is Beche will be beaten By Rosenqvist......he might be a proper racing driver but dont forget that Rosenqvist is only 16...

[gomick]

and has only scored points in 2 of the 6 races (Rosenqvist), though he did win them both...

[Lam Pak]

gomick:where is afos series point list. i find it nowhere, and with out deeply-felt rumination on series significance and relevance.

meta4:hanss lin stop racing. he won everything in asia and he is teaching young driver from taiwan to run onto world racing but champ keep caling him to help them on formula renault and v6 setups.

My dear brothers.Why is the V6 championship so dead this year only 9 cars on the grid??and the level of this is worse then formula campus, there is only one good brother that raced in GP2 and thats it. Does anyone know what the reason why they dont have more drivers???how much does it cost??
And i heard the cars is not the best thing out there.

which championship are we following?

[Niggeer With Attitude]

Dear brother Gomik

The AFR is the ASIA FORMULA RENAULT CHAMPIONSHIP organized by FRD, and the FA is ASIA FORMULA 2.0.
I think ART might be thinking about joining the 2 FRD races by the calendar in the webpage.

[gomick]

so which one would a driver prefer to win NWA

[Niggeer With Attitude]

My Brother Gomick

In my o pion is better to Win the AFOS due to the higher level of the championship.But if for a Karaoke Driver (Gentleman Driver) i would recomend the FRD.

[META4]

On the Afos Website they call Fr2.0 as Guest serie... that would mean Afos is not the real organisator of the serie


I was just watching the pictures on the Afos Website, seems like some cars race with the lat Aero Package and other ones with old one .

[superjohn]

now that F.BMW has confirmed the slot in Macau GP, there is no point to join AFR by FRD.

It will be better to join F.2000 Asia as organised by AFOS, because the marketing and media coverage will be better.

[META4]

sorry i do not see the point...

[Niggeer With Attitude]

Just to let you brothers know that the official formula 2.0 site is already working.WWW.FORMULAASIA2.COM, you can see how hard this brothers from the organization are working really hard to make a top championship in Asia.

Its a shame we have BMW and not Renaults in Macau this year. Renaults would be much more interesting due to being much faster the motor bike engines.

[Asa]

But the Formula Renaults always have a problematic race in Macau. It is very poorly run.

[META4]

why did they have problematic races in Macau?

I also don't follow this logic. AFR did not get a race slot in Macau last year already. I don't think anybody joined it with a view of racing in Macau. But if FRD sold the series based on this false expectation, then I could see drivers dropping out. Then again there are not many left anyway...

[META4]

What are you talking about ASA? FRD never said they will race in Macau this year

Formula Renault left Macau because the organisation of Macau GP was asking to much money

And that is probably why FBMW will race there (BMW Will pay for it) instead of FR2.0 Asia

[Sun 1]

F-Renault had problems in Macau because it was poorly run as Asa said....FRD has for something to do there......
Last year FRD promised the teams that Macao will be on the schedule,.....it was on the schedule until they attracked many drivers in different teams ( Champ, ART,DTM,etc,etc..) then the cancelled it ( Smart silly move) No wonder teams dont trust FRD anymore.......
The Web Page of F2.0 is 10 times better than the poor broken english FRD page.....I told you guys...give AFOS sometimes and they will do the job.

[superjohn]

let's just make this clear - FRD did say they (AFR) would ultimately get Macau, last year and this year, if there were new slots available, and now we know the outcome. AFR is not the chosen one.

and META4, "Formula Renault left Macau because the organisation of Macau GP was asking to much money ", your understanding of the facts is absolutely wrong. If money is the main deciding factor, i think Porsche would be selected ahead of F.BMW.
