The issue with selecting a new F1 entry is that the car building is more important than the actual race team. That's why there needs to be some form of second tier in single seater racing - a microcosm of Formula One - to develop and identify new talent in both construction, race teams and driving. Lola, Dallara and Panoz have or do build single seaters. Instead of a load of spec series, we need a way to have these various manufacturers racing each other.

Exactly. Sportscars.
