With Pierre-Louis Chovet returning to Formula Regional, Hitech Grand Prix tried to sign Igor Fraga to race for them in the final round.[2] However, Fraga's team Charouz Racing System blocked the move, and both teams raced with only two cars that weekend, those of Liam Lawson and Dennis Hauger, and Michael Belov and Roman Staněk respectively.[3]
