These type fo series are very hard to get off th ground and be succesful
Eurocar was good coz it caught peopels imagination, it was full of short oval stars who overtook in places long circuit rodders never even thought possible
The organisers tried to make the drivers personalities at a time when this was rare in motorsport, and the tv coverage was great.
The racing was close, the cars suited the tracks etc
The V8 never worked, ASCAR never worked and anythign in Europe or here didnt work.
Cost is an issue, as is the fact that the MSA have made it pretty clear that they dont really want oval racing to work on THEIR tracks, so off to Europe with you or run with the "bangers" on short ovals
Who really wants to spend silly money going round in circles when you can pay the same for a season in just about any other series in the UK?
Its about choice and so far choice has only succeeded in spreading UK racing far too thin for far too long!
