Marcelo to miss next round of the AF3 Series

John Marcelo is pulling out of the Asian Formula Three Series, for now, due to it being impossible to repair his car crashed at the last round in BRC, Philippines. He hopes to return for the last event of the season.

Marcelo crashed his CJM Dallara 398 heavily at the same corner that claimed katsuhiro Konno’s car in testing for the first event of 2005 at the Batangas Race Circuit in the Philippines. Jem Jacinto, manager of CJM, reported that the car was beyond repair. “The chassis has a huge crack and everything forward of the engine bulkhead is a total loss. The only undamaged parts are the gearbox, engine and right hand rear suspension”. CJM will run just one car for team owner, Christian Jones, at the next round.

Marcelo had demonstrated he has inherited the same racing genes as his late brother, Jovy, having qualified third in the Promotions Class at BRC. “I hope to rejoin the series at the final round in Batangas next November” reported Marcelo
