who do you think should be responsible for this? i mean, i don't know if that would work in practice. i agree with your sentiments, though essentially it's already in existance with fr2.0. if you build a car that's easy to understand does it open the whole formula up to more cheating though?

fwiw i agree with moneyseeker about the big noisy single seaters point. there's definitely a small army of us who will go and see (and hear) anything big and noisy, but not big enough to come up with 20,000 crowds regularly. i think the cars have to be the perfect size for circuits that already exist for it to be appealing. which f3 already is, albeit a bit too big for some of the narrower ones.
