Calendar The provisional calendar for the 2017 season was announced on 2 December 2016. On 28 December 2016 was confirmed that Circuit Paul Ricard will host the seventh venue for the season.
A revision of the calendar reduced the number of rounds to five and amended the clashes between the series and the Eurocup series. At Spa NEC drivers joined Eurocup drivers on the grid, but the Eurocup drivers were ineligible to score points, and despite that on track races 1 & 3 were won by Sacha Fenestraz and race 2 by Gabriel Aubry they didn't receive NEC trophies.
