hat replacement will be 18 year old Belgian Tom Bellinkx, a protegé of RonDen RE, altough never champion, he always ended in the top 5 in the national karting championship. And winner of one race in his first season in the GT3 Cup challenge Benelux. Also got to an incredible 28th place in the 24hours of Lemons. But first let's see how many races Jamie survives.

Just make sure you replace him before the season clashes with the last two AR 3.5 weekends and you save me some headache.

Considering i already confirmed his replacement before the season started, i doubt that will become a problem

Spanish team Alvarez Competicion were the first to receive the new Indy Academy package, and the squad wasted no time getting acclimatised to the new machinery, putting the car through its paces at Barcelona with Jules Vergne at the wheel.

Absolute newcomer team Archer Competition is looking to fill the 20th spot in the series.

We are a Canadian based team, based in Winnipeg, MB, with very little experience, but big ambitions. To give our fledgling operation a kick-start, experienced and talented driver Anders Krohn is signed to drive our first car for the upcoming season.
Given a positive response from the series organizers, we are to see what we can offer for up-and-coming Pro Mazda driver, Tyger Winters, for the season.

-So, I have read most material I found on entering a canon series, if I missed something or can't enter, please tell me what the requirements are for founding a new team. Thanks.

I've realised it wasn't a great idea to have a 40 car grid with no drivers to go around.

Therefore, I am making a decision; for 2017 only, teams will be limited to one car apiece. My suggestion would be to try and find drivers who are free that aren't canon rookies, as these drivers may well end up to be completely and utterly hopeless, whereas drivers who have previous experience in canon will have at least a higher base talent (although not necessarily a lot of talent, just guaranteed not to end up with 1 out of 100 in some skills like Sandra Yoo in F5000!).

Those who have already signed two drivers; choose one to keep and one to get rid of. If you've not signed anyone, maybe try doing some searching on the Wiki for a driver that is free for the 2017 season. It's late in the day I know, but you never know what you might find.

Speaking of which, Cesar Vialpando is now looking for a drive somewhere!

Alright, taking your advice, i will wait to debut my new driver for AR2.0 instead.
So that means i want a young driver that is fine with not driving the full season (for example someone who got kicked out of his team in another season halfway though the season)

Well, there are some guys that got fired from some things midway through the year...Connor O'Heagan from Boxtel comes to mind. Maybe there are some others as well.

In light of the changes to regulations Imrul Basnet will sit this year out and we will forge ahead with just Iqbal Siddique.

At the moment you can't because there are 20 teams on the list, however, some teams haven't submitted drivers yet, and if they don't do it soon, they'll get kicked off the entry list and there will be a space again. Hydook CroAm and Tarantino Autosport are quite likely to disappear, and there are some other teams that haven't said anything yet.

Octan will start the season with Da Cunha, as agreed. The fact that he's going to get replaced anyway (to avoid any clashes with AR3.5, even if he turned out to be succesful) is currently no priority.

It was. I just didn't add it to the entry list yet. You need to nominate a nationality for your driver Krohn. My guess would have been Norwegian, but it's not for me to say...
