The F3 Cup isn't open to just the last two generations of F3 cars . According to the regulations there are also classes for F3 cars from 1981 to the 2007 , a class for post 1999 cars powered by standard engines and also an invitation class for suitable cars which don't comply with the above . As far as I'm aware no one has competed in any of the classes except the top one recently so allowing in Formula Renaults probably wouldn't increase the grid dramatically either
The real problem is the lack of availability of secondhand F3 cars coming on to the market due to most single seater series becoming one make and retaining their chassis for several seasons rather than selling them at the end of each season .
Unless something is done ( which it won't be ) ' modern ' single seater racing at club level will die out .
