Aguri aren't developing anything and staying with last years car, except software and increasing the power.

NEXTEV TCR are the Team China Racing team, Piquets team who he won the Championship with. So there are no changes, its the same 10 teams.

I see they have taken precisely no notice at all of all the issues they have this year and wont be changing the cars :(. They need steel brakes and softer/gripper tyres and it would make the racing 100x better straight off the bat.

I've no idea who they are, but they were the title sponsor of Team China for most of last year, and brought the grey and yellow colour scheme.

Sounds like F1. It's all about the fans, right?

Yet another FIA series plowing headlong into its own butt.

They are incredibly good at telling people they want to improve the show for the fans, only to then completely ignore everything the fans want.

Good move indeed.

It's all about can they keep the series going for at least 5+ season, until technology, rules and tracks evolve enough.
