What would you most like to see? The "top flight" of the Caterham range, or some intence, manic racing with lots of power and no aero? Would you like to see the truly madcap driving of the UK R300 series? See people live the dream in an Academy race as a 1 off part o that countries' race season?

I do think that if TF could get a series in enough countries, so that you could "qualify" for entry into the GP support races, there may well just be a business model in there somewhere =)

Oh, and a disclaimer. 1 of the options are merely kidding - no offence to Westie owners =)

It'll never happen, it'd show F1 up as the tedious waste of time that it is wink

I think if Caterham would do it, it'd be the R500 as it'd have to be the best showcase for their product. It's just occurred to me that I don't think I've seen any Caterham racing despite going to many race meetings.
