Frosty11 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
2012 F3 Euroseries Silly Season

I hope this series survives as this could be a good alternative if British F3 does not pull off for young drivers.

Any rumours on the drivers?

I have no clue. Most important question is. Will all the teams stay? Because if one of the three main teams (Mucke, Signature, Prema) quits, this series is doomed.

We do know the calendar at least. All 9 rounds supporting DTM, and sadly no UK round this year.

27 - 29 April - Hockenheim I (D)
4 - 6 May - Lausitzring (D)
1 - 3 June - Red Bull Ring (A)
29 June - 1 July - Norisring (D)
17 - 19 August - Nürburgring (D)
24 - 26 August - Zandvoort (NL)
14 - 16 September - Oschersleben (D)
28 - 30 September - Valencia (E)
19 - 21 October - Hockenheim II (D)

(subject to approval from the FIA)

I agree with you entirely daisy because they need those big teams to survive.

Euroseries is less international than German Cup in 2012.

Wouldn't Philip Ellis, who won the Formula Lista championship this year with GU, be more likely?

What the Euro Series people do, and this is something I found out a few years ago, is take advance registrations in return for a small fee, which is then deducted from the registration fee if the entry is later completed.

It enables them to issue a list like this before the teams have found drivers for their cars. It's a PR thing, really.

British F3 racer Will Buller tested for F3 Euro Series champion squad Prema Powerteam at Vallelunga last week. He was joined by Italian F3 runner-up Michael Lewis and ADAC F.Master graduate Sven Muller.

I'm sure there are plenty of drivers who want to race in the Euroseries . Whether or not they have enough money is another matter...

It's a shame that this series seems to have fallen so quickly out of favour as it was a fearsomely competitive championship in the mid-2000s. It also seems a shame that it is moving back to a more German-centric series.

I think for Signature the problem is they are not the "Fashionable" team they used to be a couple of seasons back.They have been dominated by Mercedes Teams recently,this will not help them to find drivers even more when you that some VW supported drivers are likely to move to other series (Daniel ABT likely to move to ART in GP3), Laurens Vanthoor is also likely to race WSbR in 2012 with ISR and Wittmann linked to DTM Drive... not much left

You are saying that Signature is struggling to sign drivers for 2012. Is that what you're trying to tell me?

In my personal opinion yes... they already annunced they will enter "only" 2 cars next year.

Any of these teams will surely find it more difficult to sign drivers than Brit F3, GP3 and Euro Open F3?

I would assume that the asking budget will be extremely high for a series that is on its last legs.

Can anyone tell us what teams are asking?
