The first driver signings are already taking place, and a few drivers are thought to be at the very top of some Team Manager's shopping lists..

Artur Costa, fastest in the france test, has appeared from nowhere and blown the opposition away to the tune of 0.7 seconds! around Magny Cours.. It is highly rumoured that he will join the Mapes-VO team in 2002.

Pedro Daniel-Miguel has long been linked to Hernj-Roaldo, and it will be no surprise to the GPVWC world if he signs a deal with them for the 2002 season.

Jason Smith is thought to be linked with a few teams, although no names have been mentioned as yet.

Dan Lawrence has been linked with drives at Mapes-VO, DPI, CVRT & MaMa Racing...but it is thought that he will most likely be considering the British options of Mapes-VO & DPI ...rumours have it that he has already signed with one of these teams..

CVRT Team Manager, Chris Connolly, had the following to say about the France test and the way drivers may go...

"It was great to see so many drivers give the France test a go, since I was a little worried about signing drivers from a list of about 6 after the previous test session!

The times were excellent, everyone was incredibly consistent too. I must congratulate everyone for a great turnout. Costa looks like the favourite, he doesn't only have the quickest time, but he's very consistent also.

As good a package as CVRT has ;), i think Roaldo Racing will be the main team to get the best drivers, mainly since ever sicne I've known Roald, he's got the very best drivers for anything, I feel he will live up to his reputation this time."

The status of other talks/deals have not yet been rumoured....so keep an eye on the site :) and we will post them as they come in...
