News reaches me that only a few drivers signed up for F3 in the UK. Silly underfunding money so far offered from drivers and management is not going to fund a productive 2012 season especially when UK F3 teams currently have unpaid outstanding 2011 debt burden.
The multi car Carlin fiasco and the Carlin - SRO scene could have finally nailed the UK F3 coffin, drivers might as well go where they stand a chance of fair competition. At least two regular F3 teams if not three are serious contenders for a move to European alternative series, a team sale and may be one or two could go under.
Plenty of F3 mechanics and engineers at a loose end in January and the new season chassis order book looking very empty they say.
