Jonathan Palmer should stick to running his race circuit management, he's good at that. Leave the racing series alone please.

I really really really do dislike Jonathan Palmer.

It's the launch of this kind of series that is killing things like British F3. And it's not as if his F2 series is that healthy either.

If by "good at that" you mean, "he's good at butchering classic tracks" yeah I'd agree.
Snet remodelling hasn't been great (and hasn't attracted the bigger series he promised...) and I'm hoping that no news on the stupid proposals for Graham Hill bend means that it won't be done.

I worry this series is a threat to Formula Ford more than anything else. That's a series that needs to be ringfenced as a special case, stupid new car or not, it has history and the lack of a wing makes it a unique learning experience for young drivers.
This series, yet more low power and wings, what exactly is the USP of this one compared to every other series out there?
Not exactly much in the way of technical specs to go on....no doubt it'l be a case of marketing over substance, car wise though.

If they'd put it on the BTCC package I may have given it half a chance....that series is crying out for a decent single seater series.
Racing on F3/GT and yay, one DTM support isn't going to garner much attention either....yawn

Yeah, because BF3 is in such great health with half the field on two different teams and budgets nearing half a million for a season.

FFord is trying to get on the wings and slicks bandwagon and the new car is a precursor to that. FFord died when they introduced that abomination of a car anyway. 30K GBP for a season, non carbon wings(easier to produce, cheaper), the clout of MSV and the BRDC, Cosworth power, and RFR designed chassis. The only thing missing is a scholarship, test drive, something like that. The only thing better is if the formula found its way to the US to replace the cars in the USF2000 series.

And it's only in such dissaray because of the sheer volume of similar series out there. F3 is having challenges globally, not just in UK, and I'm sure I said "things like"... You don't fix an issue of too many junior single seater championships with poor grid numbers by flooding the ranks with more series.

Not that I've really been following it, but why not help FFord rather than launching a very similiarily named series that would appear to be some sort of competition. Businessmen in circumstances will make their presentations sound promising with talk of filling voids and providing opportunities, but the real reason will be they stand to make something out of it.

He's not interested in helping anyone, he's interested in being in control.

That's not the issue that he's trying to fix, though. He's trying to make a cheap, updated alternative to Formula Renault. FRUK died, FFord shot itself in the foot, in steps F4.

But is it an alternative to something that has died? I'm not so sure. If it was an alternative I'd be ok with that. FRUK is still active in UK, albeit with very poor grids. FFord is steadily rebuilding itself. F4 is just ANOTHER series which has no real place on the motorsport ladder. Funnily enough, like F2 and FPA. There's a link somewhere...
