Mid-season Changes

• Benoît Voeckler was sacked by Scuderia Alitalia after a poor Winter Cup. Andraž Velikonja takes his place for the season proper.
• Giuseppe Colombo was replaced by Alberto Lampredi at Aeroracing after the winter cup.

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.
