The fastest of the five Macanese F3 drivers Rodolfo Avila is looking forward to return to the Dallara F307-Mercedes Benz cockpit to this year edition of Macau Grand Prix and the silver jubilee of the Formula 3 race around our famous Guia street circuit.
“This is my home race, and I really want to be part of the party. This is a unique, high profile event that has put many drivers on the map. Every young driver like me wants to have at least a single opportunity in this event. The circuit is full of extreme contrasts and is a huge challenge for every driver”, said Avila who is going to face an uphill battle.
This year marks the 25th running of the Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix, where the world’s best Formula 3 drivers assemble at former Portuguese territory to do battle for the coveted title, and step in to the fast lane to the FIA Formula One World Championship. The Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix is the FIA Formula 3 Intercontinental Cup, the only race in the category to hold the title, and the reason why it is perceived as the ‘World Cup of Formula 3’.
“I met my team yesterday, and we completed the scrutineering processes today. I’ve been involved in promotional activities as well. Tomorrow the weekend begins. We are confident. I believe my cooperation with my team-mate Carlo van Dam (German F3 2007 Champion) will be profitable. As I said before I want to fight with the big boys, but hope to finish as the first of the Macanese drivers too”, held the #28 driver.
Rodolfo Avila received a very good new in the beginning of the week. He has secured support for Macau GP from his long-time sponsor Chubb – UTC Fire and Security. Avila is already proudly sponsored by Macau Government, Macau-slot.com, BNU, CESLAsia, PAL AsiaConsult, TsingTao, Fat Siu Lau Restaurant, Sujika Crafts and PT Asia.
Testing and Qualifying 1 gets underway tomorrow, November 15 with further testing and Qualifying 2 on Friday. The pre-final takes place on Saturday and the final on Sunday.
