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. |

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....

Thread title changed to reflect. I think Trevor Carlin got it pretty much nailed; Trevor Carlin wrote: It's sad, but the writing's been on the wall for the past three years. It's a bit like when your grandad's on his last legs but stays alive for six months - you get used to the fact that it's going to happen eventually. Biggest mistake they ever made was not accepting the ToCA offer. Ratel couldn't run a piss up in a brewery. |

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. |
