Why UK single-seaters are in great shape for the future
Opinion: The boss of a leading team in the BRDC British Formula 3 and Formula 4 championships is encouraged by the value-for-money racing on offer, which have the bonus of attracting full grids and good crowds
There's now a fully European motor racing scene in junior single-seaters; it's not just a British scene any more. And, of course, with competition there's lower numbers in each market. But I'm pretty pleased with where things are at the moment in the UK, where we will have full teams this year in BRDC British Formula 3 and British Formula 4.
In the 1970s and 1980s, there were many South American drivers and Europeans who would come and race in the UK. They'd come to the Formula Ford Festival, do FF1600 for a full year, then FF2000 in the British and European championships, and then they would move into one of the F3 championships, the most credible at the time being the British.
