2008 champ was Brett Smrz, who competes with an artificial lower left leg. He finished 4th in the FF Kent Festival final this year.
Oh and if anyone has the final 2008 JRCS point standings please post them! |
I think it's partly the economy and second the fact that the series is very pricey for a school based training formula. They use an interesting car but most people really can't afford it at that level.
And in addition, like in Europe now, there is a lot of competition on the lower rungs of the single seater ladder. There are no shortage of series to compete in.
