During the next 11th and 12th of March the Jarama Circuit will held its second official pre-Season tests. 19 International drivers will participate in these two-day scheduled tests that will be crucial for the forthcoming Event.

Luciano Burti will be behind the wheel again, this time with the GD Racing car. Marc Gene, Franck Montagny, Narain Kartikheyan, Bas Leinders and Jean Cristophe Ravier are some of the most high-rated drivers to top the Series in its second edition. But newcomers like Heikki Kovalainen, Bruce Joanny, Stephane Sarrazin or Andre Besson would not deceive their supporters.

The Spanish driver Angel Burgueño will be back in action the next Tuesday testing one of the Vergani Racing cars. The Mexican confirmed driver in the Italian-based squad, Ricardo Gonzalez, will be replace by Milka Duno, the single lady that has ever raced by with powerful single-seater.

The successful investment Fund Company Superfund has reached a sponsorship agreement with the Zele-Racing team. Superfund will be the Title Sponsor of the Austrian-based team. The Superfund Zele-Racing team had a productive private test today with his single confirmed driver. Norbert Siedler lapped an impressive 1.18.590 while he was using the new 2003 Michelin tyre compound.
