Rookie Prize

New for Formula Two in 2012 is the introduction of a prize for rookie drivers with the top rookie being awarded two days of winter testing. 

Last year saw 14 newcomers take part in the series including Christopher Zanella and Ramon Piñeiro who finished an impressive second and third in the overall drivers' standings.

In 2012, any driver who has competed in less than two F2 rounds before the start of the season will automatically become eligible with the winning driver being the one to have scored the most in the final championship standings.

The winner will then receive two free days of testing during the championship's regular winter test programme which takes place at a top European circuit, helping them prepare for a second successful season in Formula Two.
