Ticktum bids for historic Macau GP win

Dan Ticktum headlines a 30-strong field for the Macau Grand Prix as he looks to win the race for a record-breaking third year in succession.

The Briton ended 2018 with victory in Macau helping to undo some of the disappointment at losing out to Mick Schumacher in their European F3 Championship title fight.

However, 2019 has been a year to forget for Ticktum, with a poor start to the Super Formula season resulting in Red Bull withdrawing their backing.

He has sparsely raced since, but will form part of Carlin's line-up for the Guia race, which will see a brand-new Dallara chassis used by teams on a remodelled circuit.

No driver has won the race more than twice since it was incorporated to Formula 3-level racing.

Last year's race was won by Ticktum after a horrifying crash involving Sophia Floersch, who was sent airborne into a photographers' pen and was fortunate to emerge with spinal injuries.

The German has resumed racing in 2019, but is not on the initial entry list, which is largely made up of drivers from this year's FIA Formula 3 Championship.
