Thanks for the heads up.
Do you think the series will establish itself this year and which of the drivers do you reckon are worth watching? |

By establish I mean become a long term part of the Asian single seater scene.
I guess the advent of GP2 Asia will give these guys something to aim for there? A racing 'ladder' appears to be developing for people do progress their careers in Asia rather than just having to leave and come to Europe? |

single seater series so far(they started in 2002 as FBMW started on 2003). Franky Cheng Cong Fu also start his single seat career overhere. seems Asian GP2 not a next destination to them but JF3 national class is. Those teams need money which they have. for ladder series I think that is a pity hard job as few single seater racers overhere.You could renfrence on V6 Asia that every races only got 11-12 cars and run out budget in mid-season is usual case.We still have long path to go. |

China Formula Open incorporates two single seater racing series, including Formula West (威速方程式) and Formula Renault (雷諾方程式) for the development of formula racing drivers in China. Driver development now begins from Karting to formula single seaters and finally Formula One
