There truly is, and it is sadly fairly common in motorsport.
You can see the business decision behind running two youth categories along with F1.
But, they are both fairly dull to watch as fans, the cars sound fairly boring and there is no variety. F3 was also very much like this, possibly the dullest sounding race cars ever made!
I like some of the ideas here, but since motorsport now is all about petty individuals who run series and you can't run here because of this, or you can't have garages, or whatever, is it any surprise that some aspects of what were the established order have totally fallen from grace.
There is now only one big car series in Britain and that is BTCC, you could get a crowd at a few more in the past. Internationally there is really only one series that matters and that is F1. WEC thinks id matters, but it only matters once a year.
Formula E is getting there but is massively funded and for fans is a one time thing, rarely are you going to watch that twice, but they have some great ideas.
So, it makes sense to group a few of these together for a huge festival with F1 at its peak.
Sadly, too many chiefs and all that, wanting their piece of an ever smaller pie. Greed is the ruin of most things in life.
