AP: Fred Vervisch wins series title

Double victory and Title for Fred Vervisch !

This weekend the Asian F3-series comes to an end. On the track of Batangas, on the Philippines the drivers have a very busy schedule this weekend, with altogether six races in three days time. The meeting started on Friday and will end tomorrow on Sunday.

Fred Vervisch had already a comfortable lead in the Asian Series and came to Batangas with only one thing in mind: assuring his title. This Asian F3 title is not only another success for the Belgian youngster, but Vervisch will also get an F1-test with Force India.

Vervisch took pole on two occasions on Friday, but his car stalled on the starting grid in both races, forcing Vervisch to start twice from the back of the field. But even in these difficult conditions, Vervisch managed to get to the podium, by finishing second and third in respectively the first and second race on Friday.

On Saturday, the Team Goddard driver was unstoppable and with two victories he assured his Asian title. Vrevisch will now try to conquer two more victories on Sunday. More will follow in a press release tomorrow.
