What an exciting day, today was! We finally arrived at Grand Prix of Macau where we were the guests of Rodolfo Avila and the HBR racing team.

For someone like us who have never been in the pits before at Formula Three car racing, it was an fantastic day and experience indeed.

Upon arrival, we were immediately welcomed by Rodolfo Avila and talked a little bit about his season this year in the International Formula Masters Series in which his team won the championship.

He said that he had a pretty disappointing season and is looking forward to do better with racing again next year.

In this year’s Formula Three Macau Grand Prix he is racing with the HBR team where he is driving a 220 HP Mercedes powered Dallara chassis car. A fast lap around the track takes about 2 minutes and 15 seconds, fasted time today was by Oliver Jarvis at 2:14.149.

Rodolfo managed a disappointing 28th place with 2:17:392, whilst his team mated Marco van Dam, whom happens to Dutch like us, finished 14th with a best time of 2:13:351.

We are looking forward to a great qualifying session on Saturday, with big improvements expected by both drivers.
