F3 with its current 200hp can't be the third highest open-wheel series. Perhaps less downforce would better develop drivers, but more power would make it move one step above. 200hp (F3), 300hp (GP3), 450hp (FR3.5) and 650hp (GP2) are logical steps, bigger steps wouldn't develop drivers properly.
If names matter to you, then rename FR2.0 to F6, F3 to F5, GP3 to F4, FR3.5 to F2 and GP2 to F2. But I don't believe that would be useful for anything.
About the thread's original theme, no European team (GP2, GP3, FR3.5) wants to race outside F1's ladder because this new category would lack recognition (if anyone did, we would know). That's why A1GP and Superleague use nations and football clubs instead of true team names. To use them would need a strong investment in marketing from organisers.
