From GP3 Series
GP3 Series organisers Monday announced the names of the nine teams that have been selected to compete in the 2013-2015 seasons.
Eight of the historical GP3 teams will continue in the Series whilst Koiranen Motorsport will join. The Finnish outfit have proven pedigree amongst others as 2011 Team Champions in Formula Renault 2.0.
The entry is valid for three consecutive seasons 2013-14-15. GP3 Series organisers agreed that nine teams was the right number to run with for the upcoming campaign with the new car. Each team will be allowed to line up a maximum of three cars.
The second generation car has had successful development tests which have shown that the new GP3/13 car is expected to be at least three seconds faster than the GP3/10.
It has a naturally-aspirated 400hp engine compared to the current 280hp and also enjoys a new aerodynamic package including new nose, sidepods and engine cover. The step to progress up between GP3 and GP2 is closer, and with this upgrade kit, the GP3/13 car will be the perfect tool to help the drivers who graduate from GP3 to GP2 to be immediately competitive.
The teams will receive the kit for the GP3/13 car at the end of this year.
The current GP3/10 car has just two more outings remaining at the winter testing with the current teams: Jerez 24-25th October and Estoril 6th-7th October.
The following teams have entered the 2013 GP3 Series*
Atech Grand Prix
Carlin
Jenzer Motorsport
Koiranen Motorsport
Lotus GP
Marussia Manor Racing
MW Arden
Status Grand Prix
Trident Racing
