As it is FF has thrived on a state/national basis and F4 has possibly reached its use by date (hopefully not though). FF is one category ARG should be looking at closely I believe.
A ladder system with scholarships to progress from FF, F4, F3 to S5000 would be great and something ARG PAYCE should look at.

F4 was foisted on CAMS by the FIA as a ladder to OS racing and unlike a lot of countries who refused to play ball and participate CAMS decided to jump in with both feet. This point got lost in the ensuing battles that were raged at the time to save the National category status that was lost by FF etc. professional motor sport run by part time amateurs never goes well and this is a prime example of it.
