Says on the Pod site that Chris Andrews will mak his debut at the Main Event, can anybody confirm this?

yes i Believe that to be the Case.

if you Include Andrews. the 3RF cars we will see ( Risto,Jari, Duncan)
then you have Stig who i believe is coming ( with another Car for the islander/Paul Ingar Udtian to license then race the event in) Anita. Janne Ahonen i assume will be there with the new team. that is 8. anyone know if Micke Kagered is Coming to the Main Event? Don't think he has missed an FIA race in TF for 10 or 11 years.

Indeed he will.

Since its a licence renewal can he not take a solo pass in the 1st qualifying session?

not 100% sure on the rule. but i think it might have to be a full license as it has been more than 5 years since he last drove in TF, But as i said don't take that as fact.

its not usual for the club to accept an entry from an unlicenced driver as there are no observed runs at the FIA events, which was why Andy Frost could not enter PM at the main event 2011, but could enter super pro,
but he has the pro test session to get his licence or any other event he chooses,
well thats the rules for mere mortals

If a team turned up with some aero tweaks(diffuser or sidewings) to experiment with would they be allowed to run or is it all governed by the NHRA

If it complied with the 2012 FIA rules then they could run it. If it didn't comply they could not.

Currently the series is not governed by the NHRA.
