Because of the above, drivers have gravitated towards certain series and these have thrived at the expense of the weaker ones that have either deteriorated or expired.

Single seater racing has been in crisis in the Americas and Oceania for quite a while now. The fact that some of it is reaching into Europe, the HOME of single seaters, is just an indication that the way it's done needs to be rethought from top to bottom.
