Yup, it's almost as if GP2 or has taken over from Nippon as that 'potential F1 level driver parking lot' with FR 3.5 now almost like F3000 was in Europe....

GP3 still has a way to go to supplant F3 as the main career rung at their particular level though imo.

F1
GP2
FR 3.5
F3
GP3
F2
FR 2.0
F Ford/ etc
