For a series that was supposed to attract both racing and football fans it failed to attract much attention from the public. They only averaged a little less than 35,000 in attendance per event. That combined with the current economic environment I'd guess this series will never make it past the second season. If it makes it through that complete year.

I go to Silverstone every year for the Fi Grand Prix, but this is different. I am able to get in the paddock and sometimes in the garage. I have become very friendly with Liverpool's driver a very talented young spaniard called Adrian Valles. He is a superb driver, whether in the wet or in the dry. The actual format is quite new withits very own qualifying formmat, run along the same lines as a european champions lweague tournament. I would urge anyone interested in motor sport to attend the 2009 season and enjoy.

The teams, through the sponsorship of the FC's, are funded enough to do a season. Most teams/drivers are locked in a full time struggle for funding & yet here a cars ready to race a season. I've done a bit of a back flip on this series. If they can snag some good pilots out of F3 & WsbR then good luck to them. This is actually turning out to be a shame.

Why, do you have money invested in them? The reality is, who cares, many teams have no nominated drivers and some that do have scraped the very bottom of the talent barrel. Worried?

There are only 14 days left and there are still 3 unknowns teams participating. When are we going to know the identidy of the last 3 clubs? I´m worried.
