Fingers crossed for Antonio Felix da Costa to make an impression this year, he's still young and unexperienced but so is everyone else, and with Bottas gone there's no excuse anymore.

day 2 of testing at spa yesterday was canceled due to snow

another example of the weird weather out there :P

also the IFM test was cancelled but more info on that in the IFM topic

made an openingpost

first race this weekend at Barcelona

theres about 3 or 4 desent drivers in the list which i know about. But i dont think it will be as good as last year though.

Last weekend in Zandvoort, during the NEC, Antonio drove a laptime which is 1 full second faster then the fastest of Bottas last under similair conditions. Quaife-Hobbs was even faster though.

Im looking forward to spa already

but this series is one with tons of rookies, so we will only know if there is talent by the end of the year I think

True, but drivers like Jean eric Vergne ,Albert Costa and Antonio felix da Costa should really dominate this series, they now have some experiance and should really step up to the plate. I expect Antonio and Jean to win most races, but i reckon Albert Costa will also mix it up the front with them. Might be close.

also keep an eye on Arthur Pic, he won the Formul'Academy Euroseries last year, wich uses a similar chassis:

forget what I've said

Oh yes and Arthur Pic, i forgot about him. I believe he is the younger brother of Charles Pic? Anyway, he seems to be a little bit off the pace at the moment, but he will just get better and better.
