Comprehensive list of all Friday F1 drivers?

[PTRACER]

I'm intrigued to see how many went onto full F1 drives or other successes.

[theracer120]

When were they introduced? Wiki lists them going back to 2003, if that's complete then it shouldn't be too difficult to compile a full list.

Apparently they want to tighten up the rules so it's harder to get a Friday drive.

So much for the point of it all.
