Tal Aras should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I wonder if this thread shows part of the problem, in that it's immediately assumed that a low cost entry series is for young lads aspiring to move on to greater things.

One thing that stood out to me in the various articles about FFords 50th anniversary was that it was started to give club racers a cheap single seater that sounded nice. It's status as a development series came latter and at least one article was critical at the way it started to chase the young talent at the expense of the club racers. It would certainly affect numbers if the only people buying new cars are the teams running drivers in a National Championship. There where 38 cars running in the last race at Brands Superprix, all of them over 45 years old. I can't imagine ever getting a field that big of Duratec FFords.
