A single seater miracle??

Would never have thought that the MSA Formula would have the potential to be so successful, but they are claiming a full grid for next year in its replacement of Formula Ford. I won't get too excited until the teams actually have confirmed drives, and that the cars aren't just sitting in workshops, but to have sold 32 cars is a huge leap in progress for single seaters in the uk.

Ginetta junior had 17 out in their first winter series round last weekend I think, which is always a good sign. Usually winter series struggle to get to double figures!

FR in the UK has been dead for some time. No national series since 2011 and only a handful of runners in the club series this year, so it's hardly going to lose much to F4.

Single seaters are not very well supported in the UK any more at all. FF hasn't had a full grid for years, F3 is almost dead. Palmer's F4 has had a good grid but I'm not sure that qualifies as a national series and it seemed fairly irrelevant given the lack of tech in the cars; space frame, no aero, not a lot of grip.

Hopefully, the new F4 will give us a series worthy of the name, though it may be all we get next year.

Pretty sure I read that british f3 is now no more after the dreadful year this year and won't be running next year at all. Renault did talk about restarting frenault uk but seem to have given up. I've got real hope for the MSA f4, but the brdc seem to be supporting the msvr f4.... As it's been rebranded brdc f4. It really doesn't help that the MSA and brdc can't even agree on a single seat formula to back. They are just constantly shooting themselves in the foot.
