According to what I know the series does exist. Here is the web site address
http://www.bmwtransact.com/formula/index.htm There is also a section on the www.bmw-motorsport.com web site. From one team’s web site, team PTG, posted April 9, here is the team and driver listing. I have been talking with one team last week and they told me they were about to sign 2 drivers. So probably 10 drivers and 5 Teams. (BMW junior drivers) Graham Rahal (Team Rahal) Jonathan Summerton (HBR Motorsport) Tom Milner (Team PTG) Billy Johnson (Team PTG) (other drivers) Tom Sutherland (Team PTG) Red Bull driver Matt Jaskol (Team Autotecnica) Alexis Fenton (Team Autotecnica) Andreas Wirth (HBR Motorsport) Here is the season schedule, official testing and race event. Unfortunately I did find any results from the 2 test days at Sebring earlier this week.

these little cars can't be that much fun to watch can they? Formula ford is the real deal fo huge mayhem and slding passing fields, imo.
these motorcycle engied cars still have a lot to prove. |

Has more power than F1600, but I doubt it will cast a shadow on the F1600 series

oh yes i suppose so, so will FF200 be put aside? the "feeder" series mess is really at a peak these days, sooo many open wheelers vieing for the honor and money of being THE one to openwheel success and stardom...
i have a feeling BMW is a flash in the pan though.. |
