| In July 2024 our site finished back-filling the complete history of this tour. Note that prior to 2002, we do not have a relative order for the non-finishing drivers in the race and simply have to list those drivers in random order. For statistics, this means the data is still considered "complete" for those years, but we would still like to find a proper order for those drivers. If you can provide this missing information, please contact us. The series merged with Formula Renault Eurocup V6 into the World Series Formula V8 3.5 which we also have complete histories for. Some sites combine those histories into one single series, but at the time it was presented by as a "merger" and a new series with an "inaugural" champion, so we have elected to keep them separate. | |
