Mid-season Changes

• Benoît Voeckler was sacked by Scuderia Alitalia after a poor Winter Cup. Andraž Velikonja takes his place for the season proper. Voeckler was however hired again when Velikonja had very poor results after French GP.
• Giuseppe Colombo was replaced by Alberto Lampredi at Aeroracing after the winter cup.
• Kastazumo Nakaya was fired by RBWRT after string of poor results and was replaced by Nino Barlini. At the same round, Mecha GP fired Malaysian Nestra Aya on the back of Mustafa Kurniawan's podium in the first French race, picking up Nakaya to replace Aya.
• Angel Jose Castañeda will replace Alexis Tantovich at Brno on a trial basis.

Testing Calendar

Two tests were confirmed prior to the season beginning. The first session was run prior to Opel's entry into the sport, and the second session was run after the engines were re-allocated.

#	Track	Fastest driver	Fastest team	Time
1	Autodromo do Estoril	Miguel Silva	Red Bull World Race Team	1.42.317
2	Circuito de Jerez	Hwok Kwol-Cho	V-Sport	1.52.804

2015 F1RDS Winter Cup

The Winter Cup was conceived as a way to ease into the season, as the main season finishes in early September and leaves a gap of approximately three months between races. It also allows the teams to test performance under the actual conditions of a race. 2015 will see the All-Japan cup; the teams will all take to Japan before the season begins.
