As I said previously, whether it's £550K or £800K, it's a completely ridiculous amount of money to ply to a 17 year old for a few months of 'fun'. That's the cost of a high end property - money many people would struggle to earn in an entire working lifetime ! It's just nuts.

Because of the [lack of any real] promotion package, a prospective BF3 competitor can not attract a sponsor who [understandably] needs exposure commensurate with their 'investment'. So what you're left with is half a dozen sons of very rich people topped up with a few more on Red Bull scholarships.

Advice to BF3.

o Get real and massively reduce costs.

o Swallow your pride and get on to the BTCC package.

o Do something to warrant BF3 as Britian's premier single seater category and provide a direct stepping stone for the championship winner to drive in F1 the following year.
