Formula BMW Europe Primer for Silverstone Viewers

Warning! Long entry alert!

Note: I do not consider this to be completely finished, but am posting this because it is unclear whether I'll get time to finish prior to Silverstone.

This is the second in a four-part series (the first, on GP2, can be read here). Formula BMW Europe, one of the feeder series for F3, is the subject of this entry.

Formula BMW Europe is in its second year of existence, having been formed by an amalgalation of Formula BMW UK and Formula BMW Germany. Everyone uses a BMW/DesignworksUSA/Mygale chassis, BMW engine and tyres supplied by Michelin.

Of the non-guest drivers who left Formula BMW last year, their destinations were:

- 1 to World Series by Renault
- 5 to F3 Euroseries
- 1 to British F3 (International)
- 1 to F3 Sudamericano
- 2 to Formula Renault UK 2.0
- 1 to Formula Renault UK
- 1 to Toyota Racing New Zealand

Bruno Juncadella may still be racing, but I couldn't figure out where. His brother Daniel is in Formula BMW this year, though.

Thomas Hillsdon, Bastian Graber, Asad Rahman, Kyle Mitchell, Anthony Comas and Juan Cevallos do not appear to be racing anywhere in 2009. Junior formulae can be harsh testing grounds.

The highest-positioned 2008 competitor in the championship this year is Michael Christiansen (who came 6th), who is very much a championship contender this year.

Points are awarded for the first 15 places, in a format of 30-24-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. There is also 1 point for pole in each race. The team and driver points do not match up, even on the BMW official site, and no clear reason is given for this.

Teams generally have three drivers each, rather than the two more usual in higher single-seater formulae.
