There are other series.
The Drexler F3 series visits Italy, Czech repulic, Hungary and Austria and appears to have widened scope to allow Formula Renault and some F4 cars.
There is an Italian series as well, and Ireland has Formula Boss, in which some F3 cars race against F. Renaults, GP2, modified F3s and a couple of closed wheel Radicals.
In my opinion F3 Cup allowed in the F312 chassis a bit too early and it meant that the F305-F307 car was no longer the car to have, and you either needed a F308-11 with Mercedes or VW power or a F312 or newer car. The older car may have had similar power, but didn't generate the same levels of downforce. Cost of entry for a competitive car a couple of seasons ago was probably £ 40k, now its at least double that, possibly triple.
Maybe letting Formula Renaults in would help?
