F3 itself needs some fresh ideas in the rules to stop the aero brains getting them.

Don't quote me on it, but I don't believe the times were too far off a F3 car.
However they can adjust the power settings for the school and series. I think for the first days of the school they turn the power down to 160 hp, but again don't quote me on it.
I think with this school they were going the whole hog to have all the bells and whistles, however there is only a small market that can afford that, especially in this era.
Skip Barber has run racing series for a long time, but at a way lower price point. They have a mix of customers though, young guns, old timers, middle aged professionals and gen x gen y semi pro drivers that make up the business mix of revenue to keep all that going.
