so their final assembly is currently

going on at the organization's

headquarters in New Zealand».

How the work schedule looks

like from now to the first race?

«Some of our technicians are

currently deployed in New Zealand

to complete the assembly and

supervise the shakedown of the cars

that will be between December 15

and 17. Our staff will be back to the

country at the beginning of January

to assist to the series' collective test

scheduled for January 14 at

Ruapuna. The first race will follow

straight away the following week,

and the schedule will unfold with

one event per week. The

championship will end on the 15th

of February at Manfield».

Where was the most important

improvement in terms of safety?

«Without a doubt, safety improved

significantly under every aspect. The

new chassis is homologated

according to the FIA F3 2012 rules. If

you consider that the older one

followed the 1999 set of rules, you

can easily imagine how many

components have been improved,

and how much they did improve

indeed».

What are the most important

aspects of this new project

regarding the developmental

character?

«The goal of this car is to be

instructive for drivers that already

have a previous open‐wheel

experience. A large part of the

youngsters that enter this series are

coming from European

championships like Formula 4,

Formula Renault, but also Formula

3. For this reason, the car was

designed to enable the drivers who

already have some formation to go

on and increase their level of

experience».
