Next the field are returning to Le Mans for the first time since 2008, the series’ second season when a single race was run at the classic French venue.
The Red Bull Rookies then move onto to the more familiar stamping grounds of Mugello, Assen and Spielberg before ending the year on the Adriatic coast at Misano.
