I think Ali Woots is looking at doing TRS as well as his speedway commitments. I was talking to Jono last night. Not confirmed yet. It is very much the goal but as always budget is the road block.
Raffaele Marciello from the Ferrari development program is definitely driving. |

Wootten is definitely out, Stanaway rumoured in his car but how will that impact on his FR3.5 plans? Low local numbers but 18 cars expected for round one. Will be a turn up for the books if it's true...talk is very positive of a good mix of Internationals. As always expect the locals to take it to em...

I believe that Fortec's eurocup driver Felix Serrales will be taking part.
Alex Lynn definitely benefited from taking part this year. |

Also, while stated as not racing by the team, it is interesting to note the Chris van der Drift tested at Manfeild today. So did former series front runner Sam McNeil.
As well as them, the already confirmed Jono Lester, Melvin Moh, Nick Cassidy, Chris Vlok all tested. As well as Mitch Evans, who will be doing just the two rounds. Jono reported that the test day was rather wet. |

Yes Tanart! Very excited to see how he goes, biggest talent from Thailand since Prince Bira they reckon. Hes been very inspirational with his impressive results taking on Europe past 2/3 years in KF2 where for asian karters it's very hard to get results. Will be good to see how hes goes first time in cars.

I'm very much looking forward to the series, it's really becoming a international series that's putting New Zealand on the map as a place to race during the winter. Should be very good indeed!
