It has now been confirmed Paul di Resta will join ASM for the new season alongside Sebastien Vettel and Formula Renault Eurocup champion Kamui Kobayashi, who we knew about already.

hotwheels · 5 Jan 2006, 21:13 (Ref:1495838)

very strong line-up for such a great team. Who will gonna beat these guys?

Daisy · 5 Jan 2006, 21:38 (Ref:1495849)

With Prema and Signature both have Mercedes engines this year, they can do well (Moreau for example). But ASM has the experience with the engines, so I think they still will come out on top (Manor had Mercedes engines as well and didn't manage to beat them).

**bella** · 6 Jan 2006, 00:28 (Ref:1495930)

i'm going to say it now so it's buried well enough to avoid bandwagon jumping once the predictions start. moreau is better than vettel, and i think he'll be in for the title.

Nico Hülkenberg won't be seen in the F3 Euroseries. He has signed with Josef Kaufmann Racing to race a Dallara F306 in the RECARO Formel 3 Cup.

What's the point in linking to another website when the official race series site already confirms it?

maybe because official site speak only german language and italian people understand italian and english

I think it is a big loss for Euroseries. Many front-runners in German F-BMW won't make it to Euroseries. Most of the cases because of lack of budget, I believe.

flor · 17 Jan 2006, 19:28 (Ref:1503314)

No wonder, the budgets in the Euroseries are way to high for a class at that level.

Daisy · 17 Jan 2006, 22:18 (Ref:1503412)

It's a shame, no doubt. But the German grid looks the become a very decent one, look forward to that championship as well.

Marcel ten Caat · 17 Jan 2006, 22:24 (Ref:1503417)

with Team Rosberg also looking at German F3...it could become a threat to F3 Euro.

**bella** · 17 Jan 2006, 22:37 (Ref:1503425)

it's a big shame, but to be expected.

i loved the euroseries last year - it had the drivers, the cars, the tracks, the excitement (if you knew where to look), but i think they should have put some serious budget limiting measures in place for 2006. looks like bf3 is ahead of the euroseries in that respect.

i know this has been asked before, and i'm too lazy to find the answer, but does anyone know a vague budget for the german cup?

flor · 17 Jan 2006, 23:04 (Ref:1503437)

About 250.000€, probably a bit more with a new car.

**bella** · 17 Jan 2006, 23:08 (Ref:1503440)

hmm, so about 300k... so what do they cut down on then? are the championship regs tighter?

Sorry but this is number good to win in a national F.Renault 2.0; the euro F3 involves an engine leasing that is worth 100000-130000 euro by itself.......your amount needs to be multipied times 1.7-1.8 at least (unless you've special conditions with an engine builder).

flor · 18 Jan 2006, 10:42 (Ref:1503648)

Those are numbers for the Recaro F3 Cup, not the Euroseries.

Yes i think so, for example you are limited to 2 sets of tyres per weekend.

Marcel ten Caat · 18 Jan 2006, 11:22 (Ref:1503679)

I wonder when ASM will announce their 4th car and driver.

Daisy · 18 Jan 2006, 12:22 (Ref:1503729)

Will they have a 4th car? First time I heard that! vd Garde was negotiating with them, but actually I hope Götz get the seat, he deserve a shot in a good team.

Sorry I didn't read carefully enough, still I believe it's tight...

**bella** · 18 Jan 2006, 21:17 (Ref:1504017)

i don't think asm will get 4 cars, don't mercedes only sell their engines in herds of 6?

jondownunder · 20 Jan 2006, 00:08 (Ref:1504839)

Esteban Guerrieri almost certain to join Kohei Hirate and Kazuki Nakajima at Manor:
