What about Manor ? They have a team in British F3, and they can ask some drivers like Rio Haryanto, Adrien Tambay and Roberto Merhi.

Gary Thompson is also likeliy to join the race, and I suggest KCMG may team up with other teams.

Manor are somthing like merge up with Lloyd's family team, it's uncertain about their plan.and also Haryanto has made fewer races on British F3 than expected due to poor result,unlike chance to join far east party then.Merhi has to seek a Benz powered team if he would like to do so,he is contract driver of Benz but Mucke won't make a trip.

And true,Paul Ip prefer paying a seat for his driver,this year should be GT.

If you're talking about F3 Brazil Open, they did it in January this year and had an earthshattering grid of - er - eleven cars.

it's about entries not drivers......teams shouldn't be listed.

I belive sum of drivers from GF3 Cup and IF3 will less than 5.

Vintage Aston · 20 Sep 2010, 13:51 (Ref:2761942)

Some of the brit and euro f3 drivers will be stuck in Abu dhaibi to do the GP2 and jnr F1 tests - and they wont make it to macau logistically until the Friday which means wouldnt they miss qualy ? have not seen a time table. some FF guys are keen to go watch!

Lam Pak, what happened to the other talented guy of Macau Jo Merszei?

brucelok2003 · 30 Sep 2010, 14:23 (Ref:2767174)

Will Buller will race in Macau with Fortec

http://www.fota.co.uk/news.php?actio...s%5Bid%5D=1388

Then who will race for Hitech in Macau? Dias? or somebody else?

brucelok2003 · 6 Oct 2010, 03:45 (Ref:2770081)

The provisional entry list is released:

http://www.macau.grandprix.gov.mo/gp...d=2178&lang=en

No ART........No Gary Thompson.......

Valker · 6 Oct 2010, 08:47 (Ref:2770162)

I wish Magnussen was there.

Performance with Mercedes power

I thought they get some support from VW...

Xpert · 6 Oct 2010, 10:44 (Ref:2770211)

Thats a "Typo". They will go with full VW support!

NaBUru38 · 6 Oct 2010, 13:10 (Ref:2770303)

No Bottas (3rd in F3 Euro Series), no Buzaid (4th in British F3), Barba or MacLeod (1st and 2nd in European F3 Open), no Dillmann, Magnussen or Dusseldorp (1st, 3rd and 4th in German F3), no Italian F3 drivers. But at least 15 drivers are among the top drivers of their championships this season.

strider · 6 Oct 2010, 14:26 (Ref:2770346)

There's some interesting switching around amongst the British teams.

With William Buller having moved from Hitech to Fortec, Hitech have brought in Brendon Hartley, who should be a more than adequate replacement.

Räikkönen Robertson Racing have brought in Alexander Sims, who should be very good, as well as Ryo Haryanto and local driver, Michael Ho. They have farmed out the very promising Felipe Nasr to Manor Motorsport.

Carlin are at full strength, but all their drivers are rookies and it's a concern that Jean-Eric Vergne will not arrive in Macau until the Thursday morning due to F1 testing and may even miss first practice. He will have no time for acclimatisation to the time difference.

"Räikkönen Robertson Racing with Manor Motorsport"???

Manor have been racing two cars in British F3 this season. Räikkönen Robertson Racing have three and they are all allocated. Manor have one for their regular driver Hywel Lloyd and and I assume Räikkönen Robertson Racing have taken over the other one for Felipe Nasr.

It's a bit complicated, but it makes sense.Taking just one car never does make sense financially.

strider · 7 Oct 2010, 13:37 (Ref:2770867)

Brendon Hartley is saying on Facebook that it's news to him that he is doing Macau, which is a shame. He is, however, doing the last GP2 race.

That really makes me think if the 3R are not having enough resources at that time. IIRC Kevin had been qualified with an IA license (the highest license issued, short of the super license for F1) for 2010, and it'd be simply strange to see a driver of that quality to crash a car without someone tapping him.

But then again, the 2010 race is run in cold weather, and that's a relatively rare sight in Macau.

it'd be simply not strange to see a driver of that quality to crash a car like this for a driver who has informed by his father can't continue of remaining races of the weekend after Race 1.

brucelok2003 · 12 Oct 2010, 04:39 (Ref:2773573)

Just check the entry list, and it is written that Carlos Huertas replaces Brendon Hartley in Hitech, so that means there'll be an all-Colombian line-up.
