Contents
Teams and drivers
The following teams and drivers participated in the 2015 season.
Team changes
- ST Racing was demoted to the Supercup after five years of running in the Superleague. The team had never equalled or bettered their highest finish of 9th in the Constructors' Championship during their début season in 2010 when partnered to Honda.
- Nordsjøen Racing's Superleague entry changed to reflect internal changes in an effort to return to their championship winning form. As such, the outfit became primarily Norwegian instead of Italian.
New entries
- Edonis Engineering made their début in the Superleague following a meteoric rise through the Career Ladder. The team gained automatic promotion through winning the 2014 Supercup season Teams' Championship and became the first fully fledged Dutch team to take part in the Superleague in 12 years.
Mid-season changes
- Target Racing failed to attend any event from the British Grand Prix onwards.
2015 Calendar
Testing
The 2015 testing schedule is as follows:
Test | Date | Venue |
---|---|---|
Pre-Season Test 1 | 29th January 2015 | Nurburgring, Nürburg |
Pre-Season Test 2 | 5th February 2015 | Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, Magny-Cours |
Pre-Season Test 3 | 12th February 2015 | Sepang International Circuit, Selangor |
Pre-Season Test 4 | 19th February 2015 | Circuito de Jerez, Andalucia |
- A Young Driver Test was originally scheduled for November 5th, but later cancelled.
Calendar changes
- The Malaysian, Chinese and German Grands Prix were all removed from the calender
- The Portuguese, Turkish and Singapore Grands Prix all made their return to Superleague calender after a 4, 1 and 2 year absence respectively.
Rule changes
Technical
- Kernow Sport announced pre-season that they were to cease production of their works Krevder engines, as well as discontinue supplying engines to other teams. They would be replaced for 2015 by Vod:Bul Racing and their new 'Valiant' line of engines.
- During engine bidding, the administration had planned to include supplies of the previous year's engines within the 3 customer teams limit for each of the engine manufacturers. However, this proposal was scrapped following confusion from various parties. A miscalculation by the administration later led to the decision to scrap any contracts for 2014 engines to be supplied, with the effected teams (CSG Racing and Target Racing) being given the same make of engine in 2015 specification with an additional cost.
- Further to the above, customer teams will no longer be able to contribute eR&D points towards the development of engines.
Sporting
- A new Team Numbers system was implemented into the Career Ladder for 2015. This meant that all teams across the Ladder held their own numbers instead of having them determined by finishing position of the following year. However, the champion of Superleague would be expected to wear the #1 during their time as champion.
