Overall, the Offaly-born racer took fifth place in the championship standings, winning two races, with seven podiums and two pole positions to his names.

After two season with seasons Rodin, then ART Grand Prix, Japanese driver Ritomo Miyata is returning for a third attempt at F2, switching to Hitech TGR.
