Oliver Turvey has signed with Speedtech Asia to compete in the final AF3 event of the 2004 Asian Formula Three Series at the Batangas Race Circuit in the Philippines on December 5th. Supported by the Asian Formula Three Corporation, Turvey will drive in the Promotions Class and will act as a good benchmark for the region’s top young drivers.

Turvey will drive a Dallara 398 TOM’S car in the Promotions Class and he will pitted against Formula BMW Asia drivers, Dado Pena, Tyson Sy and Don Pastor. Also in the hunt for class honours is current points leader, Kenkou Miura of Japan. “We offered the drive to Oliver as we are keen to attract new talent to the region and he will also help our young drivers gauge themselves against a proven race winner from Europe” reported AF3 Chairman, Eddie Pena. “We believe competing in Asian Formula Three can help the career of talented but under funded drivers and I am sure Christian Jones and John O’Hara are happy they ran with this year, especially as they get to race in Macau and Bahrain”.

Edgen Dy-Liacco, Team Manager of Speedtech Asia, says he is confident that Turvey will be extremely competitive and that he will have a very good chance of winning the Promotions Class.
