The first Australian F3 event to be joined by Asian F3 Teams has been declared a great success and it is hoped will the first of many joint events between the two series.

Dillon Battistini completed an almost perfect weekend by taking another easy Asian Formula Three Pacific Class win in race four at the Melbourne GP whilst chaos reigned behind him. Dado Pena finished second in class after starting from the back of the grid whilst Henri Karjalainen hobbled round to third place in a damaged car. No other AF3 Pacific car made the finish! Tim Macrow won the race overall from Hollings, Grubmuller and Mapelli. However it looks like Macrow will lose the win as he took the lead under yellow flags.
