I only attended F3 at 3 British tracks, 2 times at Silverstone, this year, plus Hockenheim. I would of atteneded other rounds but SRO have a policy of deliberately chosing to clash with other UK events, 4 or 5 times with BTCC and once with WSR.
Most people realise that its not a good idea to promote an event or series when there are clashes with a similar event. Do you see Liverpool and Everton playing at home at the same time? or Wimbledon and the British Open Golf on the same weekend?
As promotors SRO have shown very little respect to their audience or their competitors. It seems that BGT competitor numbers are down, mainly because SRO have failed to provide a product that is worth taking part in. The whole package around F3 is a very pale shadow of what it was during the 'powertour' days, but that was when the series was run by promors who understood racing and wanted to provide a good value entertaining day out for spectators and an efficiently run race meeting to cometitors visiting all of the circuits capable of hosting such an event.
