Tyson Sy set fastest time of the day with John O’Hara and Ananda Mikola joint second and Rodolfo Avila fourth quickest just a fraction slower.

Moreno Soeprapto was just fastest in the Promotions Class with Murphy, Farrell and Legris all close to the Indonesian.

Several teams tested at the Batangas Race Circuit last Monday and Tuesday in readiness for this weekends final round but heavy rain resulted in little meaningful running.

A new motorsport initiative, Aviation Displays Team Ireland, hits the track at the Batangas Race Circuit in the Philippines on November 6th for the final round of the Asian Formula 3 Series.

Geared towards the 52nd Macau GP, 18-year old Macanese star driver Rodolfo Avila concluded two private test sessions, the first at Most, Czech Republic and the latter at Eurospeedway Lausitz, Germany both with positive and encouraging results.

Backed by HBR Motorsport, the tests were conducted in a Mercedes Benz M271-powered Dallara F305, which Avila has commented to be a very exciting car to drive.

“The results of both tests are encouraging, to say the least. The relationship and development that ensued with the expertise of my engineer (Knud Rieser) and team manager (Sigi Muller) is quite invaluable and the overall package simply adds more confidence”, remarked Avila, who, is expected to be the youngest of the F3 drivers for the Macau GP. “The Mercedes Benz engine is incredibly powerful.”, added Avila.

Formula BMW UK Rookie race winner, Jonathan Legris, has signed with the Tuason Racing School Team to drive their Dallara 398 TOM’S car in the Promotions Class for the final AF3 event at the Batangas Race Circuit in the Philippines on November 6th.

Legris will follow in the footsteps of Oliver Turvey, who like Legris had raced in the Formula BMW UK Championship and finished last year by competing at BRC in the Promotions Class, impressing by taking a class win. Eighteen year old Legris has taken several ‘Rookie’ class wins in the extremely competitive British F.BMW Championship and he is also expected to be competitive at BRC.
