Isn't the point here that even though the F3ES races with the DTM and has decent sized crowds, the grid has still shrunk to 12 or 13 cars?The drivers are not so much interested in big crowds as decent circuits and learning how to race properly.

What you reckon strider?

I wasn't intending to post on this thread again because just lately it has become too personal and puerile, but you've never done me any harm so I'll answer your question.
I agree with what both you and bella are saying. The F3ES and BF3 are run in entirely different styles and there's no way in practical terms that they could merge. It's a shame, because the F3ES was formed from the German and French championships, but the difference was that both the DMSB and the FFSA agreed and even contributed in cash and in kind to make it a success. Compare that with the MSA, which does nothing but take money from SRO. As far as I know it has never contributed a penny towards BF3.
