plutoman, if I can add my opinion on a few of those you mention. First I don't recall Bo M being sensational in FF in the early 80s, from memory he was OK but not that great.
Richard T dominated in FF2000 in 1980, but to be frank he wasn't up against too much, and in F3 later he never had much money behind him. Dave Scott looked good in his first F3 year in 1981, but didn't take it on the next year. He was on pole for his first F2 race at Silverstone in '83, which was a v good effort, tho' I think he had good tyres. Later in the year he didn't do too much at all, tho' did return to F3 in 85 and showed 1 or 2 well regarded 'youngsters' the way.
As for the French drivers you mention, Hesnault was a rich kid wasn't he, Petit never really shone in F3 or F2, and Trolle I think was the best of all you mention. He had a bad F3000 shunt in 88 as I recall, which killed his career I think.
