Drivers due to test at Le Castellet/Paul Ricard, 6th-7th December:
Carlin: Jan Heylen Comtec: Susie Stoddart, Danilo Dirani, Jaap Van Lagen, Mehdi Bennani, Renger Van der Zande Cram: Ben Hanley DAMS: Yann Clairay Draco: Michael Ammermuller Epsilon: Felipe Albuquerque, Bertrand Baguette(?) Eurointernational: Lin Po Heng GD Racing: Ralph Meichtry Interwetten.com: Oliver Jarvis Jenzer: Pierre Servin, Renger Van der Zande(?) KTR: Pekka Saarinen Pons: Carlo Van Dam RC Motorsport: Laurent Groppi Saulnier: Nelson Merlo Victory: Jesper Wulff (source: italiaracing.net) I'm assuming Van der Zande may only test for Comtec, as he was not listed in the site's most recent update (nor was Baguette at Epsilon). |

Van der Zande's own press release only says Jenzer Motorsport and doesn't mention Comtec

Why is Carlin testing Heylen? I thought Fleming and Ashelin were confirmed? Or is Heylen just preparing for his Champcar test?

I hope Saarinen will impress the team and get a seat for 2006 season. This was his 3rd season in FR2.0 and I think he really should move forward.
For some reason he gets less media publicity than other FR2.0 drivers (Mustonen, Nyman) in Finland. He doesn't seem to have too much sponsors either so I'm not sure if he can afford FR3.5 WS season. |

I know in Brazil there are sponsoring systems (like the one that Barrichello did for his career)... wonder why Tuka doesn't attached one.
But well, if Tuka signs with Draco it will be a superb ground for him, in order to rise up his career. |

Moving on, i agree with you Mekola, but i guess the same could be said for Reece and some other guys with regards to supporting youinger lesser known Brazilians? They haven't focused on them for a while, but i remember Rubens, Eduar Neto, Marco Campos (he would have been tremendous driver) coming through with Draco's help.. Notice Dirani's keeping his GP2, WSR options open then? he needs to get himself in a competiitive team next year whatever he does as he might be starting to fall off the radar a little, regardless of whetehr or not BAR (Honda) have decided to back him a bit. |

Hmm...nice results from the Dutchies.
Jaap van Lagen impresses on his return. Carlo van Dam beats Giedo van der Garde (bye bye European single seater career Giedo?) and Renger van der Zande was just having fun |

Van der Garde did just 30 laps in the afternoon session only - why is his time disappointing? In the morning session his time would have been 2nd fastest!

Because so far he hasn't shown why he should step up from F3.
Every time he's tested he is either down the list or beaten by fellow Dutchies. |

Impressing the times that Maldonado did with Draco... and that Aleshin did with Carlin. That confirms my expectatives, specially about the Russian driver.
Van Lagen... could be better see him in GP2. |

Why is Alejandro Nunez doing fairly well considering he was nothing more than a backmarker in the F3 Euroseries?
