Auch 2016 werden die Nachwuchspiloten der FIA Formel-3-Europameisterschaft wieder auf den wichtigsten Rennstrecken des Kontinents ihre Rennen bestreiten. Bei insgesamt zehn Veranstaltungen in sieben verschiedenen Ländern wird dann der Nachfolger des amtierenden Europameisters Felix Rosenqvist (Prema Powerteam) gesucht.
Die Ehrung ist Tradition. Jedes Jahr, beim VdM-Abend der Essen Motor Show, zeichnet der Verband der Motorjournalisten e.V. (VdM) eine Persönlichkeit für Verdienste um den Motorjournalismus mit der Johny-Rozendaal-Uhr aus. In diesem Jahr erhielt der Journalist, Buchautor und Rennfahrer Rainer Braun den begehrten Journalistenpreis. Der VdM-Vorsitzende Werner Bicker überreichte ihm die Auszeichnung am 27. November 2015 in Essen.
