Roldan Rodriguez is being replaced by Rocha at the first round, as he is racing in Spanish F3. When Rodriguez returns, apparently Minardi (not "GP Racing by Minardi" anymore?) could run a third car for Rocha.

The list is interesting, particularly in relation to the F3000 Int Masters thread.

If Vanni are entering two cars, one of which is their ex-Traini B99/50, then it must be the IMDC car in F3IM.

There are 13 B02/50s on that list - out of 20 built. That will become 15 once Astromega joins in.

2 x Arden - still at Arden
2 x Astromega - still at Astromega
4 x Coloni - 3 at FMS. Where's no 4? Vanni?
2 x Durango - ? I guess these are the Minardi ones?

2 x Ma-Con - now at Charouz in F3IM
4 x Supernova - 3 at EuroNova. 4th still at SuperNova AFAIK.
2 x BCN + 2 x Brand - These must be the ones now at Avelon and Autosport.

Nice to see Vitaly Petrov back in international racing. I think he's one of the most talented Russian racers.

In 2005 he was racing in Russia and won both Formula 1600 championship and Lada Revolution cup.
