I really don't know how you can say this Dan, admittedly the numbers were at an all time low at Thruxton but you can't just say that the championship should be scrapped. A lot of time, effort and money has been put in by the drivers who were on the grid that day.

People always talk about the good old days when grids were this and that but back in those days there wasn't the choice of championships available that there is now, so the grids are going to suffer and drivers now are choosing to do other championships such as FBMW etc. No one ever says that the BTCC should be scrapped and yet there grids are low with around 13 cars.

The UK Formula Ford Championship is still a very good breeding ground for talented drivers as it was proven this weekend with Charlie Kimball winning the F3 with a faultless performance. The quality still continues this year with 2 lap records already being broken.
