That's the nub ... not that there's too many championships, theyre just so expensive. There are plenty of great drivers out there, mentioning no names at all, to fill several championships, but they don't have the money to compete in these crazily-priced championships. How on eaarth can anyone justify backing a driver for 2 or 3 years in Formula 3 at half a million UK pounds a year??? For what return? I have absolutely no idea, but I do know that it has always been thus (maybe more extreme now as politics, nationality, race and creed etc play more of a part in driver selection, so there's no point moaning and trying to invent new ladders. One way or another the absolute top ones will get there, even if the top of the tree is now so very very narrow as it's shared with so many pay drivers. C'est la guerre
