He does have the Surfers SuperPrix to prove he deserves a promotion, but it'll be his last chance with ZimSport if he blows it.
And if he does blow it, there's always Eurobrun's Autodynamics/Red Bull WRT to fall back on. Unless the situation between you two is as dysfunctional as myself and Lappy where we usually take turns to sack each other's drivers after three races

Knowing how crap my teams are I would pretty much take any driver I could get not called Beniot Voeckler
And if this was real life he would make Olivier Grouillard look like a respectful backmarker
And I would crash in to almost everything

I'm so happy that our team's driver scored the first F1RDS title. Best of luck to Kwol-cho in F3WRS next season!
Reith should stay, so V-Sport has an opening.

Foster's will be retaining Angel Jose Castanda, but Marsden will not be returning next year. Which means there's a seat free at FGCR! It's not as bad as it seems - We won two races and came 3rd in the teams championship, so sub,it your applications now!

Oh, well actually that's a slight relief, as I was already running out of slots to put my drivers into.
Anu Võsu will continue with NRE next year (this will be her last chance), while we'd like to offer the second seat to Jari Lappalainen.

de Boer already went to an F3RWRS teams but I don't remember which one - I was beaten to his signature by someone else. But AFAIK Kurniawan is on the market.

The F1RDS ROTY Podium
3rd: Kastazumo Nakaya - The Japanese driver was the lowest scoring driver that had taken part in all of the races. Although that's not a crime in itself, the fact that he got ousted at Red Bull with one point in the first six races after Miguel Silva had won a race then was outclassed at Mecha by his championship-hunting teammate shows that the guy isn't really a top-level driver.
2nd: Engine Parity - In short, if you didn't have an Opel or Renault engine, you weren't going to do too well. Toyota didn't make the headway expected in the race, and VW just fell back far too much. It was never a real display of driver talent, so it's single-spec engines next season.
1st: Scuderia Alitalia - The only Opel team not to win, Alitalia finished 12th in the Teams' Championship. Bjorn Ekdal managed a pair of podiums, but he left the team at the end of the season after a strop. Things were worse in the #22 car though; Velikonja started well but tailed off. Voeckler was as dreadful as ever, and Tantovich was very average indeed. One last throw of the dice was Nestra Aya; the Malaysian qualified 3rd in both Zandvoort races but the engine died on the first try, then in the second he ran wide and took his front wing off. Not an ideal season for the Italian team, but things should definitely improve next season.

Since I had a self imposed 4-driver limit (out of official 5 - the fifth slot is always reserved except in extreme cases), Kurniawan will stay with Mecha, if possible.
We need new second driver, Nakaya being on ROTY podium made us going against renewing his contract. (No Aya or Voeckler, please!

To make things a little clearer, I thought I'd make a nice list of all the drivers that, as far as I know, are unconfirmed and eligible for next season.
Mestach (ditto?)
Butler (F3 with Kingfisher?)
Frankham (possibly F3?)
Wener (offers from ZimSport and West Cliff in F3)
Reith (staying at V-Sport?)
Einhrin (eichy disappeared, so I would expect Einhrin not to carry on)
Lampredi (the personification of 'meh'.)
Scalabroni (staying at Aeroracing?)
Nakaya (leaving altogether?)
Aya (showed he's got potential...)
Voeckler (HA.)
Marsden (wouldn't expect him to stay...)
Grove (surprised Rosenforth got rid of him...)

Nakaya will go back to Japan unless someone wants to employ him and all his money. And I would like to make an offer for Einhrin to move to F3RWRS with Red Bull World Race Team
