Greg Wins the Third Round of the Asian F3 Promotions Championship!

Greg Murphy won the third round of the Asian Formula Three Promotions Championship at the Zhuhai circuit in China earlier this morning. Murphy, who qualified his Minardi Team Asia car in third place, made a great start and took the lead on the opening lap, a lead he never relinquished. The win puts him into the lead of the Asian Formula Three Promotions Championship, ahead of the fourth round which takes place in China on Sunday morning Irish time.

Greg was thrilled with the result:

“My first Formula Three race win is a memory that I’ll always cherish. We had some problems in qualifying which left me in third place, but thanks to a good start I was able to sneak into the lead on the first lap. Leading from the start can always add a bit of additional pressure, but I was lucky enough to keep it all under control. I’m thrilled with the result but I’m here to win this championship and tomorrow is a completely new challenge. Right now I’m putting my focus on getting a good result in that race to keep my championship hopes on track.”

Murphy will qualify for the fourth round of the championship on Sunday morning with the race taking place at 13.35 local time (6.35am Irish time).
