200k pounds = less than 300k euros. Which is still less than a reasonable F3 budget. I really cannot see how they can do a meaningful 'ladder' formula for 200k euros per car per year,
unless it's one-make spec-everything with truly epic rules stability to defray initial costs, with some overall commercial sponsor(s) holding most of the rights to the series, everything run on an arrive'n'drive basis by a common pool of mechanics and engineers, and 200k being a token budget to get a few individual drivers' sponsors onto the wing endplates. Imagine Palmer Audi with some kind of big sugar daddy part-sponsoring everything.
I have a feeling this 'F2' will be something awful, like that Formula Master snoozeathon that accompanies the WTCC. You're not going to run GP2/A1GP/World Series Renault-class cars for that kind of money.
