How embarrassing is this? I thought we had the best series? It's not like Spa is that difficult a circuit to learn.

yes we do have best series but all the european teams have french or italien engines which are better than the british ones. also I dont know whether the british eams have done the slight changes they are allowed to do in europe like there is a differnt exhaust allowed

I think the European series runs a different fuel and engine map, but that'd be availible to the British teams.
While the British championship may overall be stronger than the French, German, and Italian series; keep in mind the European is the best of all the european teams so its not going to be a walkover.

i cannot believe that Manor will be running at any form of disadvantage to other teams - they know the score. And Fortec do have a strong engine in the UK so I cant see them struggling. If UK teams were going to be disadvantaged, they wouldn't go.
