Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Only 19 cars as well. Looks like more people are realising that this form of racing leads to a dead end.


I wonder why the grids of F3, F2 and FV8 are so small. I guess not many rich kids dreams about driving in F1, anymore. This can't be due to the global economy as we're not on 2008, anymore.

Could it be that the superlicence points requirement for F1 makes it less motivating for rich parents/sponsors to support F1 career. Previously you could literally buy your way through to F1, but nowadays real talent is more important.
Therefore, the feeder categories lack the usual pedrodinizes.
Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

Nice battles there, but outside points.

It's still split with F3 and GP3, F2 and Formula V8. Once there is a clear path to F1 the numbers will grow again I think. So the faster GP3 and formula V8 die the better

Was half awake for race 3 but with Norris, Ilott and Jake Dennis the future of British motorsport seems bright, particularly as all 3 pulled off brilliant overtakes during that race.

It's probably a combination of the above, as well as the fact that GT racing is currently so popular and more accessible.

Race 3 was excellent. Really aggressive driving throughout the field all race.
