Machida will join Roland Hermoso and Carlos Anton in the now three car Speedtech Team. Machida has previously competed in Asian Formula Three, having raced in at the Goldenport Circuit in Beijing last year. He finished second in the Promotions Class on his Championship debut and he is looking forward to competing again on August 15th. "The competition is really tough this year but Machida San is very experienced and we hope we can achieve a top six finish" said Team Manager Edgen Dy-Liacco.
