As long as the teams can fill all the seats, and the series gets more decent drivers than it had in '07, then yes it will be...

Note that Marcello Puglisi didn't test the 2nd day, when the track was a lot faster.He did set the fastest lap on day 1, a full second quicker than Sebastiani. It also seems he's going to be confirmed as the team leading driver for 2008

Mekola · 1 Jun 2008, 18:08 (Ref:2217004)

With Rigon and Maldonado at the front, it could be a very nice race to see... Nicolas Prost will start fifth.

I think it might have been a time issue possibly because there were seven other championships racing over the weekend as well as the Euroseries.

ASRoma · 4 Jun 2008, 15:34 (Ref:2219738)

It's a pity that they are not more cars in the championship because I think it's a much better car than the world series.

Maldonado was obviously quick but not untouchable, then Rigon, Onidi and Prost were very close (Prost had an engine problem in qualifying, but he was in the rythm Rigon and Onidi in the race).

I hope more cars join soon because I think that Onidi and Prost deserve the attention because they are very fast considering they have not been much in this car.

JohnMiller · 4 Jun 2008, 17:28 (Ref:2219810)

These cars still look good and have a great sound. They were supporting at Spa last weekend but the grid was very thin. Ten cars, and I think the last four were 5 seconds plus off the pace.
