the wording of the quote (mentioning the logistics) sounds to me like they're going to do it in addition to fr3.5, gp2 and the porsche cup? frankly i have no idea where they're planning to put everyone. i assume we'd also be looking at longer running on fridays to accomodate everyone.
So it actually is official this year then.

I agree with you though, where the heck are they going to put 30 plus GP3 cars??? Surely this will be instead of another race?

Alex K has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
They will find another underground hotel car park to accomodate them.

anyone care to guess what percentage of a 2013 gp2 budget this would represent?

http://tentenths.com/news/showentry.php?e=2789

it's a start though - until the organisers are willing to make it more of a significant bonus though i'm not sure it'll make a big difference.

As you say it's a start and as such must be welcomed.

What we need is a prize fund lower down the food chain so as to help get drivers into GP3 in the first place.

Whatever happened to prize money? You used to get a few quid even in a Formula Ford clubbie once, all of a sudden it dissapeared!

Sounding like Uncle Albert now.....

I assume the GP3 Championship winner also gets prize money, like GP2 drivers do. But still along way from a full budget for a GP2 drive, let alone the other costs involved with being a racing driver at that level.

i've no idea what i'm talking about and this is speculation, but was it that a title sponsor paid for the prize money, until the organisers started to take it straight to pocket and make decisions about how it's spent?

let's take fford, if there was a winner takes all bonus that represented say, 60-75% of what was needed to compete in that round, what sort of cost would that have needed to be in 2011?

(i'm not taking gp3 as an example because a realistic budget that hasn't been dropped to below cost to get drivers is quite difficult to come by)

Ethan Ringel signed with Atech GP, actually he was the first confirmed signing for the 2012 season. But before Atech GP signed him, I had never heard of him.

He's been club racing and has convinced his dad to spend more money it seems.

Robert Visoiu will graduate to GP3 with Jenzer Motorsport.

Seems to have had a decent first season in cars with Jenzer in F.Abarth last year.

He will also race in Italian F3 for Ghinzani.

Small correction - Fabiano Machado. Reigning SudAm F3 champion, so perhaps some potential there.

GP3 twitter mentions there will be two driver announcements today. My guess that are Ellinas at Manor (as mentioned above) and Vicky Piria at Trident.
