Gabriele Mini is a good driver! I like the way he is racing. Decisive and matured.

Yeaney has stopped coming out of T2 after contact. Looks like an inside kerb jumped him across He gets it going but back to pitlane with damage. No SC thou. :phew:

Mini might be in trouble after running wide at T1 and not going round the bollards to rejoin.

Formula 3 to return to Macau Grand Prix after four-year absence

You might have read in the Sportscar section that GT cars are to return to Macau, but good news also is that the FIA has confirmed Formula 3 cars will return to the Macau Grand Prix for the first time since 2019.

The November event will be sanctioned by the FIA but not form part of its Formula 3 championship, which concludes at Monza in September.

The race will return as part of a three-year deal between the FIA, the Automobile General Association Macao-China and the Macau Grand Prix Organising Committee.

The celebrated race has been won by a roster of future Formula 1 stars over the years including Ayrton Senna in 1983 and Michael Schumacher in 1990.

The last race run to F3 rules in 2019 was contested by current F1 racers Yuki Tsunoda and Logan Sargeant. The latter placed third behind winner Richard Verschoor and Juri Vips.

The Macau Grand Prix continued during the pandemic but the Chinese F4 series replaced F3 on the roster. F3 will return to its traditional format including a pair of races of 10 and 15 laps’ distance respectively.

This year’s Macau Grand Prix will take place over two weekends, with the F3 running scheduled for November 16th to 19th.

F3 Sprint Race just started at Austria. Pouring with rain. Yellow flags flying.

[Everso Biggyballies]

F2 race in Austria just started in the near dry.... didnt stop Doohan throwing it into the kitty litter on the opening lap. Not the only one though as aruvula did the same and got bogged...... a full SC was deployed. No doubt they will rejoin once unbogged.

Those that started on wets have pitted under the SC to change to slicks.
