Yep gtcapri, you are just missing the remaining drivers, which in my opinion, are being deliberately leaked out as a form of PR stealth marketing leading right up to the even itself.
Many of the bigger named drivers are only on a 1 race meeting contract, as most of them are being paid a fee to drive, so unless the driver can help find a sponsor or contribute to the budget I think you will see a revolving driver door for most of this years Championship.
The big multi car teams all want paying drivers alongside one paid professional race driver like Chris Pither etc, as a means to help with the teams over all cost structure, as these cars only require a fraction of the labour cost to maintain and run. Which is no doubt in my mind why the big teams have leapt in, as they already have significant investment in place to be able maintain, transport and run these cars at a events that don't clash with their main game commitments. Just my opinion mind!
Cheers,
Mark.
