Just over three days remaining before the 54th running of the prestigious Macau Grand Prix, the jewel in the Formula 3 crown. Buckingham-based Hitech Racing aims to add victory at the far eastern venue to its well-deserved and convincingly-won Lloyds TSB Insurance British F3 International Series title.The team narrowly missed out on victory in Macau last year after Marko Asmer was eliminated at the first corner after starting from the front row.  Asmer, who took the team to victory in the domestic series this year, winning half the races, will spearhead the team’s Macau assault this year too and must start the event as one of the favourites.

Marko will be joined by the rapidly improving Austrian Walter Grubmüller, who is the real rookie in the team and indeed F3, with just a handful of single-seater races under his belt before he came to England.  Now, with the experience gained with Hitech Racing and his team-mate Asmer, the 18 year-old heads east hoping for a strong finish to set him up for next season.
