Eurocup will be held across a modified 15-race schedule for 2016, and retaining a total prize fund of 400k Euros: http://www.worldseri...-0-in-2016.html

 

It has 7 teams provisionally listed, along with some driver signings: http://www.paddocksc...e-drivers/32557

 

 

The NEC series will primarily support European GT championships at 7 venues: http://necup.com/six...oring-included/

 

 

Alps also has 7 events planned: http://www.renaultsp...0_alps_eng.html

Just seven teams in Eurocup...

 

 

I really thought they could compete against the F4 series as they are international and the F4 series just national. But I think we will have much less cars that the last years...

[Marklar]

Well, you are getting more points in F4 and IMO the series are also easier. The only benefit in the Eurocup is just the prize money....

Good decision, they should concentrate on Eurocup.

I can tell you that Darius Oskoui won't drive for Tech1 racing .

[HistoryFan]

Who then? Or where is he going to drive?

Who then? Or where is he going to drive?

 

You will probably know this by the end of the month.

Testing for the Formula Renault 2.0 is being held at the moment. A session was just completed with Belgian youngster Max Defourny topping the timesheets ahead of rookies Lando Norris and Sacha Fenestraz (last year's French F4 runner-up).

Oh and some NEC signings that weren't mentioned:
 

Prizma signed Pontus Fredricsson

Mark Bundett Motorsport have acquired British driver Alex Gill

[TyreSmokeDownshift]

Lastly, ART Junior team underwent a name change to R-Ace GP.

[Ross Stonefeld]

R-Ace. Lovely. 

[Disgrace]

What T-Wat thought that up?

[Prost1997T]

R-Ace. Lovely. 

 

It's actually the result of a merger from 3 years ago: http://www.r-ace-gp....unior-team.html

 

 

The R-ace GP team founded in 2011 by Thibaut de Mérindol and Cyril Comte has taken on a new dimension and strengthened its collaboration with ART Grand Prix.

 

So they've just changed the name back, basically.

[TyreSmokeDownshift]

Test 2 over - Dorian Boccolacci tops the times ahead of the JKR duo of Daruvala and Norris.

[TyreSmokeDownshift]

Meanwhile in Aragon...

 

Test 3 results - Norris leads the way with Defourny and Daruvala. Makes a change from the inevitable in the F1 testing, doesn't it?

 

Also, is Norris worth keeping a close watch on as a potential future talent?
