I have no idea what this this thread's all about. At the moment you have:
GP2
Formula Renault 3.5
Formula 2
GP3
Formula 3
so there's actually way too much.

It's my belief that that come 2012 there will be a big shake-up and the driving force will be the FIA. GP2 is not an FIA formula. Formula 2 has been checked out and found wanting. GP3 is full of subsidised drives at the moment, so that's not the future.

The only formula that actually delivers what it should is Formula 3, but it's too expensive. Think 1.6 turbo engines and around 300bhp and you might be on the right lines. The same basic engine could be used in other formulae as well and suddenly it all starts to make sense.
