The Philippine National F3 is run, for Filipino Nationals, in conjunction with the Philippine rounds of the Asian F3 Series and the champion will be crowned on November 6th. After the first event held last April Pepon Marave leads from Enzo Pastor, Dado Pena and Tyson Sy. The last two named are really suffering for their non-finishes in April and will find it difficult to overhaul the points of Marave.

Filipino all rounder, Joel Retuya, will join Fujitsu Ten Toyota Team TOM’S for the final round of 2005 to be held at the Batangas Race Circuit in the Philippines on November 6th. He will drive their Dallara 304 car.

Irish driver, nineteen year old Emmet Queenan, joins Speedtech Asia to contest the Promotions Class in the final event of the year at the Batangas Race Circuit in the Philippines on November 6th.

The highly rated driver has competed in the British Formula Renault Series this year after dominating the 2003 Formula Ireland Championship. He will be driving the team’s Dallara TOM’S 398 which proved competitive in the hands of fellow Irishman, Barry Waugh, at the Sentul Circuit earlier this year.

This will not be his first taste of Formula Three, having tested for Coloni Motorsport in Italy back in 2003. He should not be concerned about coping with the power of a Formula Three car as he has driven a Formula Nippon car in a test with the DoMoCo Team in Japan.

Season long Promotion Class front runners, Champion elect Moreno Soeprapto and fellow Irishmen Lee Farrell and Greg Murphy are going to have their hands full if they are to beat the newcomer to the Championship.

Miss AF3 2006 will be chosen from 15 finalists at the Asian F3 awards night to be held in Manila on November 7th. If you are in Manila it should be a night to remember.

The prize for leading the AF3 Championship is a fully sponsored drive in the Macau F3 GP with Team Midland Euroseries. Mikola’s entry had been provisionally accepted but unfortunately this year the A1GP Sepang event will take place over the same weekend. Mikola is driving for the Indonesian Team in A1GP and is therefore unable to race in Macau.
