Silly sugestion, but have you tried to contact them asking Renault for the regulations?

I would do, but I'd be worried that I wouldn't have got the required source from them.

It's okay now though, a journalist who covers FR3.5 managed to point me in the right direction...I hope.

I'm not sure if these are still applicable, but the following link purportedly contains a list of sporting regulations for Formula Renault 3.5 in 2012.

Competing in the BRDC F4 Winter Series this year will be...Harrison Newey, son of Adrian. Can anyone else think of chassis designers who had motorsporting sons?

Please don't get martin haven commentating like he did on eurosport. Maybe Bruno senna can do it.

That's a huge shame. Will's commentary was excellent; it was informative, genuine and funny...he'll be VERY hard to replace.

I'm not totally sure if I'm honest. It's not a full, proper dislike of it because I haven't heard enough of him to make a full on proper opinion/judgement. I guess the biggest thing I dislike about his commentary is that his commentary does not get me excited at all. I was listening to him on one of the GP2/GP3 races and I'd rather listen to a dog lick its balls. Each to their own, I guess.

Does listening to a dog licking its balls get you excited?

I agree actually, although his style's quite different to a lot of people's (mine included), not as much shouting as much informing.

Even though we've not had any race running in GP3, Alex Lynn has finally secured the title after Stoneman couldn't manage a pole.

He's very relaxed and calm no matter what's going on, sort of like he's permanently in practice commentary mode. It wouldn't work for something at the top of its pyramid, but it suits a feeder series well.

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 21 Nov 2014, 17:06

I must said that, after having slated Vandoorne earlier this season, I am mightily impressed at how he adapted and let his talent to shine. I am now convinced that he is the best talent since Lewis Hamilton to show up. His rise through the ranks and performances in complete rookie seasons is very Hamiltonesque. If he is not in F1 at 2016 at the latest, it will be a travesty.

Beitske Vitter will remain in FR3.5 for another year! Resigned for AVF Racing! Hurrah! (AND it's been confirmed on Autosport!)

The Acceleration Series (that series that claimed to be the new A1GP) will merge with Auto GP from next year on. (sounds more to me like Auto GP will take over the whole thing)

Well that didn't last long. At least it's merging with a series that I can remember the existence of on a regular basis.

dinizintheoven · Post by **dinizintheoven** » 23 Dec 2014, 19:04

I'd heard that there was supposed to be this A10 malarkey that was being discussed a while back here, but nothing ever came of it, or so I thought. The first I ever heard of this Acceleration series was a few days ago when the champion was announced on this forum...

They certainly kept that one quiet.

Three years in FR2.0 and only 9th?!

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 23 Dec 2014, 21:19

Both Auto GP and Formula Acceleration used the Lola B05/52, as originally used in A1GP, which was my favourite motorsport series for four years. Will I care about this new series as much? Doubt it, considering I knew next to nothing about FA and therefore cared about as much. FE replaced A1GP in my heart.

I know next to nothing about Formula Acceleration.
I know next to nothing about Football Association.
I know next to nothing about Feck All.

Can the same still be said, Captain? I fear the answer is still yes...

Probably missed some announcement somewhere, but will the rolling music festival that accompanied Formula Acceleration with acts like David Hasselhoff, Vengaboys, 2 Unlimited, Samantha Fox, Rick Astley, etc. be retained by Auto GP?

EDIT: Grammar fix.

Don't forget Marciello. He did somewhat poorly last season, but he might be a slower adapter. I expect him to be stronger this year.

And I have to say that, in terms of top talent, GP2 is now back to being well ahead of FR3.5. Although I will be looking forward to see how Nyck de Vries goes in that series.

Hey!

That said, the idea of a merger between FR3.5 and GP2 sounds does sound interesting, if both parties were to agree to it.

Dino Zamparelli isn't returning to GP3 in 2015 - he's instead racing in the worst BTCC support series. The Carerra Cup is such an insipid series.
