"interesting" changes in Euro F3 Championship, most notably preventing a route straight from karts to F3 like Jos Verstappen and several others this season

>One season of experience in cars is required before competing in in the championship
>No driver who has competed in three complete (minimum 80 per cent) European F3 seasons can enter the championship.
>Drivers to go on a mandatory FIA training program. Penalty points issued for incidents, with those exceeding 12 within a 12-month rollover period getting a one-race ban. Incident cameras with FIA-supplied memory cards to be carried on cars.
>Maximum four cars per team, with each entrant having to give details of team's financial and sporting situations, identity of team ownership and "upstream" companies, plus organization charts.
>Tenfold rise in non-refundable entry applications from 500 to 5000 euros [$5468]. These, which are made in December, are deducted from the total 21,000 euro [$23,000] fee when the final entry is submitted.
>Potential exclusion from the championship (or minimum 5000 euro fine) for any competitor who misses a round unless "judged by stewards to be beyond the control of the competitor."
>Five- and 10-second time penalties added for drivers deemed to be at fault for incidents.
>Drivers banned from testing any car on a circuit (or any part of it) within three months before that track's European F3 round.
>Lifting of ban on teams running cars from other F3 championships on circuits that are coming up in the European F3 calendar.
>Rule exonerating driver from trio of 10-place grid penalties if their engine is damaged in an accident is amended, so that if the driver "is judged to have been solely responsible for it" they get a single 10-place penalty.
>Virtual safety car introduced when double waved yellow flags are required but when the situation is regarded as not serious enough for a safety car.

VSC is the only good addition
rip tatiana calderon and the rest of Euro F3.

>Davide Rigon took the No. 11 Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 to the checkered flag, 24.253 seconds ahead of Yelmer Buurman’s No. 2 Black Falcon Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 in second
>IMSA: TRG/Aston Martin Racing confirms GTD program for Daytona, Sebring
>Richard Petty Motorsports announced today that Xfinity Series veteran Brian Scott will join Aric Almirola in their NASCAR Sprint Cup Series lineup, replacing Sam Hornish in the team's No. 9 Ford

I exaggerated a bit, the penalty points on the license is a good measure along with the addition of time penalties for the stewards.

>After Max Verstappen caused a sensation by finishing third in the 2014 championship in his rookie season of car racing, British Red Bull junior Callum Ilott and Italian Alessio Lorandi made a similar jump this season. Now, in the wake of F3's spate of mid-season accidents blamed on over-aggressive driving, the FIA has closed off that route by mandating at least one season's experience in single-seaters, a move first discussed by the governing body and the teams in June.
>Ironically, Ilott is the only driver to have finished all 33 races in this season's F3 European Championship.

The people causing accidents weren't necessarily newcomers.

Conor Daly got a full time drive in Indycar, so we can finally stop hearing people whine about that.

If you sit and listen to Gags talk it becomes obvious that he's smart as Hell.

I also think he really wanted to see Enfinger in a full-time ride. That or they landed a sponsor that allowed them to do it.

desu I'm pretty sure Raikkonen also did the same shit back in his day

This is probably just a terrible crop of drivers

If the KBM young guns don't know how to drive their million dollar equipment and Kyle actually stays the fuck out of trucks, Grant/GMS could be the new Crafton/Thorsport.

There's a stream for the 12 hours but it's geo blocked, I'm guessing anyone except the US can view it
