spider should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridspider should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Just found some scribbling down of ideas i had...

BRITISH GRAND PRIX SERIES

20 cars, £1million entrance fee per team per season.
10 teams, 20 drivers.
Car example: Old Champ Car chassis combined with Cosworth engines

Circuits:

Brands Hatch GP
Snetterton
Thruxton
Rockingham
Donnington Park
Oulton Park
Castle Combe
Silverstone

Or have a chassis similar dimensions to existing Formula One car. V10 Judd power. Chassis designed by Lola? Delta Motorsports?

Championship an alternative to Euro F3, and Renault World Series, falling below GP2, and F1 in European Single-seaters

Must be placed above British F3, to be the UK’s premier single-seater championship.

Promoted through the UK Autosport/Motorsport News press. Terrestrial television coverage, with Richard Hammond, among others picked

Teams commit to 3 years to the British GP Series, 10-12 teams for the first season

£2.5 million per team for 3 years.
£25 million for the 10 teams.

Teams such as Carlin Motorsport, Super Nova, David Price Racing, Manor Motorsport, Double R, Hitech Racing, Fortec Racing – racing at the top-level in either the UK, or in the European racing series.

Jordan Grand Prix, along with other ex-Formula One team managers may see the potential in a project that looks to setup a top-level UK single-seater championship.

The sexiness of the series will be enhanced by top UK and European celebrities being invited to each round.

At each race there will be a launch ceremony. To encourage spectators to attend each round, there will be a GP Series season ticket – 8 rounds for the price of 6, as well as paddock access at each race.

British GP Series support Championship – Porsche Cup GB, British F3 etc?

Billboards around the country, and in major cities, along with Radio campaigns, and taking over papers such as the free Metro

Also, who better to be the man, the face behind the series than Lord March? With his contacts list, I'm sure it could be a go-er.

There would need to be a large cash prize for the series victor to entice a decent level of competitor.

If we can establish, through a Spanish Organising Group, a top-line -wheel category suitable for seasoned pro's, why can't we for single-seaters...?
