I'm trying my best to get myself working on this series, 14 races around the world, and its all looking very exciting. Starts in September driving cars supplied by Lola.

The last I heard was that each car had 15 seconds worth of boost (electronically controlled, you can have 15 secs in one go, or press it 20 times or however often, but its 15 secs total), should make the racing a bit more interesting!

much as the series is exciting, am i the only one who thinks brands just hasnt got the infrastructure for such a race?

Was just thinking the same.

It struggles with WSB and their supporting races.

Agreed, they need some major work on the roads in and out, a bypass is needed methinks.

How fast are these cars going to be?? a lot slower then the current 05 F1 cars???

engines are 3.3 litre V8s made by Zytek if i remember correctly. zytek used to build the F3000 engines. cant imagine them being that much slower than F1 but given formula ford produces better racing than F1 and they have 100bhp who cares!!!!

And last year they binned pretty much their entire Operations team. Those who were left later resigned. Should make getting out of the car park fun again
