Early days but without ongoing financial support it's a bit hard to see it flourishing, as you say. Given that the S5000 cars would be slower than current F3, then going straight to F1 unlikely although Indycar might be possible for a driver with money.

They look (and definitely sound) better than f1.
I think my neighbour's Victa sounds better than current F1!

Not personally convinced about S5000 yet - but we've had so few race meetings with them taking part due to Covid so we'll all be able to get a better idea of what they're really like this year (hopefully).
