Looks like the series is still on track for a 2016 debut:

As of March, there were 5 chassis already sold, with a goal of getting 12 cars on the grid for 2016.
Initially, the plan seems to run in one race with the national production cars, which is probably a smart idea.
Also, there won't be spec-engines, and supposedly there is some manufacturer interest in developing/supplying engines for the class.
