FEUsmart should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
How can you say Formula Palmer Audi was rubbish? To see someone delight in seeing the demise of a championship that was conceived by a driver, for drivers is pretty shocking.

It was set up to provide a level playing field, to promote up and coming drivers, which it did. It's just that dummies got spat when the comfort of having a 'works' advantage was taken away.

Dr Jonathan Palmer put a lot of his own money into FPA in order to help young drivers, in a world where almost every young driver needs a helping hand. Dr. Palmer introduced a lot of innovative concepts into his series that established formulae were too scared to try. He went to great lengths to get overtaking back into slicks and wings racing, and look after the driver's corporate needs. FPA provided unrivaled levels of hospitality for it's guests at races, and the kind of sponsor perks that you don't find anywhere else. All for little more than a works Formula Ford drive!

It has produced the best F3000 driver this country has got. Perhaps FPA's aim to rival Formula Three was a little ambitious, but 98 FPA champ Justin Wilson out performed 98 F3 champ Haberfeld in F3000 in 99.

I'm really sorry you find that rubbish.
