Thanks. Since I've been on 10/10ths, you read about the state open wheel racing (particularly in europe) and what people think is the problem and the magic trick to rejuvenate it. It became more and more clear to me that finding a way to combine them all together would be a good option. That, and changing the context in which/why you would compete in open wheelers in the first place.

Also, I think in lower domestic comps, there has to be less manufacturer involvment. Seriously, only manufacturer could completely wreck fford like ford have. And what BMW's have been allowed to do in open wheelers the last decade should be strongly discouraged.

True, but it may be getting to the point where they'll be forced to. I mean, Formula 3, seriously?

As soon as I posted it. I thought, that in the Australian Formula A/not quite libre series, of all the competitors that would complain if thier type of car wasn't winning. Inevitable.
