I just wanted to see what people's opinion's were of todays racing?
I unfortunatley was there and had to endure the worst days racing I have ever been to! The only positives were the GT Cup, and the Vintage Touring Car Race. Always good to see the old Mustangs racing against a Mini!!!
Anyway back to the Formula 2, I thought the actual racing was terrible, I may be wrong but I cant remember seeing more than 1 overtake between both the races. The cars are very bland indeed, was at the Superleague series a couple weeks back, and was really taken back by them, the noise from them was very impressive.
For me Formula 2 should be a "mini" F1 series different chasis, different teams and maybe even a couple engine supliers. I was actually not born when the prior Formula 2 series was running, but have managed to watch quite a few races. And for me this new creation of the series just isn't good enough. I dont think the quality of driver is great either, Palmer managed 1 sixth last season and had a 1st and 2nd today, dont need to say anymore there really.
In my opinion there are to many single seater seires about now, World Series By Renault, Superleague, GP2, GP3, Formula BWM, Formula Renault, Formula 3 (All national series), the names beat me but the series using the old A1 chasis also and I think there maybe a few more as well.
I go to many motor racing events but today was by far and away the worst event I have personally ever been to, if it weren't for the Touring car race and GT Cup being the last 2 events on the timetable I would have left before the 2nd F2 race!
One issue I think Silverstone has is the lack of the International Circuit, the BMW's are a great series but there just not the same on the full GP ciruit imo, SIlverstone needs a fourth lay out!
Anyone else share the same views or am I being a little harsh? Role on the FIA GT's
