The 2013 Formula Renault 3.5 grid has been completed by Zeta Corse signing Mihai Marinescu and Emmanuel Piget ahead of this weekend’s season opener at Monza.
Formula 2 race winner Marinescu returns to the series full-time after making 11 starts in 2009, while ex-Formula Renault and Euro F3 Open competitor Piget, who last raced in 2010, currently has a deal for Monza only.
Team boss Claudio Corradini explained that the team’s upheaval over the winter (as it took over the BVM Target entry) had proved a setback as it tried to sort its driver line-up.
“The Zeta Corse programme started a little bit late,” he said. “When it came to signing drivers many of them were already busy.
“Marinescu proved key in pre-season and will be with us throughout the year, but it’s been tough to secure a second full-time racer.
“Despite sampling several drivers in testing, no deals have come. For the remaining rounds [after Monza], we’ll see.”
