Well British F3000 ran with 3 cars in 1996 or 1997 before they killed that, British F3 is very healthy by comparison.

Going to be hilarious when they have a first corner pile up.

Awaiting the optimistic 'Driver X secures top five finish at Thruxton' press release.

Good chance for more sucking up to Alice Powell, if she was in the field.

I think only 3 or 4 cars finished one of the races at Silverstone earlier this year.

F3 is likely to be dropped from the British GT package next year, if it even exists by then.

I bet you the OTHER F4 (Palmer's) gets that slot, confusing matters with the proper FIA F4 (FFord) on the BTCC bill.... :tumble:

Thread title changed to reflect.

I think Trevor Carlin got it pretty much nailed;

Biggest mistake they ever made was not accepting the ToCA offer. Ratel couldn't run a piss up in a brewery.

Great shame, over 60 years of history coming to an end. Thought it was looking likely when the coverage from the final round signed off with "hopefully" being back next year, not with certainty like in previous years.

I'd say the Riccardo/Perez/Hartley/Alguersuari years were very much the swan song for the series, it's odd how it went down hill so fast

Sad news. It does however looks like Carlin will move to the new British F4 championship on the BTCC bill. Fortec have already confirmed their participation.
