Konno shows promise with JF3

Japanese driver, Katsuhiro Konno, impressed Joson F3 Racing in a two day test at the Batangas Race Circuit in the Philippines.

Driving the teams Dallara 301 TOM’S car in extremely hot conditions the Japanese worked his way down to a best lap time of 1m 27.0. “We told him not to push too hard and we are sure there is much more time to come from him” reported Team Owner Richard Joson “The temperature was really high which makes the track slow. We were impressed with his fitness, he did over 60 laps without getting tired which is not easy. This track is one of the most physically demanding in the World and if you can survive 60 laps without wilting then you must be race fit!”

The team and driver both report they hope to agree terms for Konno to lead the JF3 teams attack on the 2005 Asian Formula Three Series.
