Probably for the best as Atlantics don't even exist any more
But point taken if you substitute Indy Lights, I agree.
I see F2 placed above F3/GP3 again. Hmm. It may be more powerful, then technically higher in the motorsport ladder when sorted by bhp, but if we're looking at importance then went downhill fast after the reasonable 2009 grid. If F1 people were looking for future stars, I'm pretty confident they'd be looking for talent in GP2 > FR 3.5 > F3/GP3 first. There are too many nobodies in F2 - some may be unproven talents, but many are clearly hopeless, and would probably be nowhere at F.Renault 2.0 level. This is not an anti-F2 rant - I'm fine with it taken as "Super Formula Palmer Audi", it gives a route for drivers without big budgets, it has a great calendar this year, the Williams prize test, but let's not kid ourselves about its importance.
