Way to mock a newbie who was clearly just looking to have a fun debate!

I took the list more as a ladder to the top. In which case FNippon is not so relevent these days (shoot me down in flames but the last notable name I can remember is Ralph Firman). Superleague also isn't a feeder formula, its more out on its own wing. Both great series to watch though and both clearly carry some significance which would put them in the list on a pure 'prestige' basis.

I disagree on FFord too - I think that is still clearly a key feeder formula despite its star being a touch diminished.

Indy Lights I agree with as it is an important series. But the Eurocentric thing - well, motorsport, especially the ladder to F1 is Eurocentric. That might not be right, but it is.
