Also, in what was news to me, italiaracing have the following listed for the Abu Dhabi races -
Arden: Rodolfo Gonzalez Meritus: Luca Filippi, Diego Nunes DPR: Giacomo Ricci (alongside the inevitable Herck) Curiously they've put "TBA" where Turvey should be at iSport. Maybe it's just confusion over him missing the upcoming tests due to his WSbR commitments. |

Some others, presumably, who may be in the hunt for drives in the upcoming series:
Van der Drift Bamber Bonanomi Provenzano Clos and quite a few other I would imagine? Anyone got any more news on who's talking to whom? |

Didn't expect Filippi to be back, I must admit.

Daniel Zampieri & Vladimir Arabadzhiev. Funny, I hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere apart from your posts, but you're right, he is listed on Arden's website: http://www.arden-motorsport.com/drivers/ Session 1 times at italiaracing.net: http://www.italiaracing.net/notizia.asp?id=25319&cat=4 Last edited by jondownunder; 23 Oct 2009 at 11:59. |

Are they using the older GP2 cars like they usually do in the Asia series?

I'm not that surprised. He fell off the radar completely after a woeful 2008 and after Portugal is only now looking like a decent driver again. He absolutely must win the championship though, and I'm not sure he can do that in a Meritus

What it will change for Filippi? Many of these guys need to get somehow into F1 testing and try to impress, now w/o Friday testing it's quite hard just for these 3 days in December to find a spot.
Anyway, do you know what these times mean guys? It's an important social experiment for the motorsport industry. Basically, a random person picked from the street should be able to be at about 7 sec. off Luca Filippi's pace. In fact, I guess many would be closer, because Mr. Kralev, who represents Bulgaria's Tourism Authority R&D department as a highly expensive test dummy, is 1+ sec. off the public's pace in a rental Rotax after extensive training during the summer. |

--------- A couple of articles seem to suggest that Newman Wachs Racing could enter GP2, the other option being IRL IndyCar, in either case with John Edwards driving... http://www.racer.com/Newman-Wachs-ta...rticle/155872/ Quote:
