Speedtech Asia is all geared for leg 2 of the 2006 Asia Formula 3 Series scheduled at the Zhuhai International Circuit, in China this weekend.

(07 May 06) Tyson Sy romped away to his third win of the weekend, with John O’Hara getting best of a fraught race for second. Satrio Hermanto won the Promotions Class.

Tyson Sy stuck to a plan that had worked twice to perfection, leaving behind a field fighting for second place and completing a hat-trick as the first leg of the 2006 Asian Formula Three Series ended Sunday at the Batangas Racing Circuit.

(07 May '06) Sy led the field away with John O'Hara storming through to second from the 5thy on the grid and was giving Sy a run for his money before he went off, permanently, at turn 5. This handed second place to Dillon Battisttini who led a four car train comprised of James Winslow, who had gone off on the first turn and worked his way back to third, Moreno Soerapto and Dado Pena. They finished in that order, despite lots of ducking and diving. Battisttini drove a faultless "defensive" race. Moreno was demoted to 7th place after receiving a time penalty for jumping start.

(06 May '06) John O’Hara stalled at the start, fellow front row occupant, Dado Pena all but stalled allowing Sy to take the lead and a relatively easy win from Dillon Battistini and James Winslow. Michele Bumgarner won the Promotions Class.

(May 06 '06) John O’Hara qualified on pole position for race one at the Batangas Race Circuit. His last lap was just quick enough to pip Dado Pena. Ali Jackson was third from Tyson Sy. Michele Bumgarner will start on pole for the Promotions Class.

(May 05 06) Tyson Sy was fastest of the day, setting his time in the first of the three sessions of the day. Dado Pena headed the timesheets in the other two sessions with John O’Hara third fastest of the day. Tomorrow, Saturday May 6th, will see qualifying and race one and it is brewing up nicely to be an extremely competitive day.

(4 May '06) Tyson Sy showed he will be the man to beat for the first round of the AF3 Series this weekend at the Batangas Race Circuit in the Philippines by topping the time sheets in today’s practice sessions.

(03 May '06) Tyson Sy set the pace today with a 1m: 27.8 lap just edging out James Winslow who timed 1m: 27.9. Next up was Dado Pena with 1m: 28.5 with Dillon Battistini just one tenth adrift.

(Sept 10, '04)Minardi Team Asia Formula BMW driver, Moreno Soeprapto, joins Speedtech Asia to race a Dallara 398 in the Promotions Class of the Asian F3 Series at the Pertiminas Fastron Asian F3 Super Prix at the Sentul Circuit, Indonesia on October 3rd.

Moreno will certainly give the regular Promotion Class runners a run for their money, having proved his speed this year with Minardi Team Asia in the Formula BMW Asia series. He has one podium finish in Sepang to his name and he also qualified on pole position for the F1 Grand Prix support race at this year's Bahrain GP race.

Don Pastor, Mars Hsieh, Tyson Sy, Dado Pena and Kenkou Muira are some of the names he will have to beat. The Promotions Class will certainly be competitive.

(May 12 '04)Speedtech, as with most teams, are looking forward to Subic as they now have time to prepare their cars. At BRC, again like most teams, cars and engines arrived very late resulting in last minute panics to get the cars on the grid.

Team Manager, Edgen Dy-Liacco, pointed out that there were really only a few cars on the grid which did not arrive late or require new engines which also arrived last minute. "John O'hara demonstrated the advantage of having the car early and being able to put in a lot of testing" said Dy-Liacco.

JoJo Silverio agreed "My new 301 car was only ready on Friday of race week and we just ran out time to get a good set up. Speeedtech did a fantastic job to get the car on the grid and two fourth place finishes were more than I expected".

(June 23, '04) Speedtech Asia, an expansion team in this year’s Asian Formula Three Series, hopes to put its disappointing season back on track in the next leg of the series, which is scheduled on August 15 at the Goldenport Circuit in Beijing, China.
