Of course there are several unconfirmed drivers from the past season, plus we have Rene Rast's possible entry. Team Aguri bought out, Andretti gets even more advertising, TCR fully bought out, Faraday Future partnered with Dragon to build a Penske branded unit, AFdC out, JEV to replace, JM Lopez joins DS. Bloody 'ell.
This series changes at warp speed. Let the complete relearning of the teams and drivers begin so we'll be ready in October.
