Zahir Ali has been one of Asia’s karting stars for several years and he graduated to cars in the Formula BMW Asia series in 2006. This year he has been extremely competitive, winning four of the twelve races held to date. Asian F3 was seen as a natural progression for the Indonesian rising star. He follows in the footsteps of young Asian drivers such as Tyson Sy and Dado Pena. Sy, who finished second in the 2006 AF3 Series, is currently racing competitively in the Star Mazda Series in the USA. Other AF3 graduates include James Winslow and Charlie Hollings who have been winning races in Australian F3 whilst Ali Jackson has been competitive in the National Class of the British F3 Series. Another ex-AF3 racer, Christian Jones, recently won a round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia.
Asian F3 is quickly becoming the best career choice for young drivers from all parts of the World.
