According to the interview with CAMS CEO they prefer an arrive and drive series, this would indicate there will be one chassis and one engine. On that basis it will be cheaper than FF because each team wont be spending money on developments to make the car faster. As long as the cars are prepared equally they dont need to be fast, just equal, then its up to the best driver. Sounds good to me.

I think the reference to arrive and drive was a polite way of saying we only want professional teams in this. One chassis might still be on the cards but I don't think that idea is set in stone yet.

It is an entry level series for drivers that want to become professional drivers. I think its a great idea. If you want to tinker with your car go club racing. It wont be for everyone but it will serve the purpose very well.

Yeah, I think the term "entry level" is a little misleading in this case.

I would think there is a large group of competitors who want more than 'club racing' and want to run a national series,
but dont want to head off overseas and become a superstar or have delusions of ending up a V8SC driver. |

A very narrow view of things if they want to exclude 'certain' people from the series, especially if ultimatly they need the cars on the grid |

15 years ago there would be a field of 20 , yet today a field of 12 maybe, and to run with the bratpack (V8SC's) it will cost you again, and if we look to next years TV coverage , as revealed by Warbuton, dleayed telecast for supports, and can supports promote themselves at a V8 meet, nah those days are gone because everything revolves around V8 SUperwaffle. Would like to see them go to Shannons , and promote themselves without paying a merchant banker ( Archer Capital) money to race Hopefully there is some group out there who can take the role of catergory manager and continue what formula ford started |
