Drivers
The drivers in this series do not require any previous canon experience, however any canon experience will narrow the RNG range for driver values.

Teams
There are 40 full time cars, that can be split into 1 or 2 car teams. There are additional spots for privateers and guest entrants in 1 car teams. Privateer teams must nominate which events they are able to attend. Privateers will run in pre-qualifying at the rounds they nominate for.

I can offer Alexey Pchelintsev and Roberto Dinella - both are available for drives for privateer teams looking to compete in just a few events or even a one-off. Obviously Dinella is already signed up to F2RWRS so will only be available for drives outside of those race weekends, but Alexey is a clean slate as of now so is open to all offers.

[MinardiFan95]

Full time entries will now be raised to 28 cars, however this series will not be first come, first served as this originally seemed. Entries will be open for two weeks, and the most suitable applicants will get a spot in the series (note: there may be preference to teams/drivers based in the countries this series runs in) - any team that is rejected can still enter as a privateer. Also, remember that you can enter a single-car team full time as well.

[DemocalypseNow]

Voeckler GPE wishes to tender for a two-car entry under the Lavezzi NISMO banner. Our strong links with Nissan, through both our running of their works Le Mans Cup effort, as well as our strong and wide relationship with Nissan's major partner Renault, makes us the ideal candidate to spearhead Nissan's efforts in the series. As part of Nissan's commitment to Australian motorsport, it is our intention to sign a deal with young Australian talent Anton de Pasquale, former champion of Australian Formula Ford and Formula Renault 1.6 NEC.
