The entire focus of the championship is wrong as a driver development series. The pointscore, a copy of the main games, rewards consistency over speed. The pro teams can turn a fast driver into a consistently fast driver. A consistent driver that isn't fast is essentially irredeemable.

But the Fujitsu Series does not exist as a driver development series, so perhaps its the thread that misses the point.
