30 drivers keen on becoming the successor of Grosjean

This weekend, the Formula 3 Euro Series is going to kick off its sixth season. A season that promises to be an extremely thrilling one. The grid of the season kick-off, held on the 4.574-kilometre Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg, will feature 30 young talents ready to rocket away when the starting lights will go green for the first time, this year. And they all have got just one goal: to become the successor of reigning champion Romain Grosjean.

Still, Frenchman Grosjean is just one of the impressive number of successful drivers who honed their skills in the Formula 3 Euro Series, in the past five years. The current Formula 1 grid features eight drivers who learned their trade in the Formula 3 Euro Series before advancing to the pinnacle of motor racing. The most popular - and most successful, to date - of them is Briton Lewis Hamilton who secured the 2005 Formula 3 Euro Series title in superior style. Just two years later, he finished runner-up in the Formula 1 World Championship.

There are numerous drivers that may be regarded as title favourites, in the 2008 Formula 3 Euro Series season. One of them is Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix). The German has been signed as test driver for the Williams-Toyota F1 Team and already has executed several tests, for the British squad. Now, however, he fully focuses on the Formula 3 Euro Series.

In addition to a total of 18 new drivers, with ten of them being rookies, the entry list also features two new teams: Carlin Motorsport, one of the most successful teams of the British Formula 3 Championship and French squad SG Formula are going to make their debut on the grid of the planet's most competitive young-gun series, this season.
