F2
Formula 2 is considered the foremost single-seater feeder series to Formula 1. F2 has existed in three different guises over the years. Until 1984 the championship was an open series for manufacturers of different chassis, engines and tyres. However that championship was phased out and replaced by Formula 3000. F2 was later revived as a one-make series between 2009. However the series failed to attain the prominence of GP2, which had replaced F3000 and raced almost exclusively on the F1 support bill. The new F2 lasted just four seasons. In 2016 Liberty Media took over the running of F1 and purchased GP2, then rebranded it as Formula 2 in 2017.

IndyCar
The most famous IndyCar race is the Indianapolis 500, held annually at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in front of huge crowds. However American open-wheel racing has a chequered history. The championship reached its peak in the late eighties and early nineties under the sanctioning body CART. It attracted huge international attention as Formula 1 champions including Nigel Mansell, Emerson Fittipaldi and Mario Andretti competed in it. However the creation of the rival Indy Racing League in 1996 created a split which badly damaged the championship. CART, which rebranded as Champ Car, fell into decline. By 2008, with Champ Car on the bring of collapse, the two series finally merged, but the damage had been. Nonetheless today’s IndyCar championship retains a reputation for spectacular racing with its single-specification chassis and features a broad range of circuits including road, street and traditional American oval courses.
FE
Formula E is a recent additional to international motorsport. The all-electric single-seater racing championship was set up by the FIA in 2014. The series races exclusively on street circuits.
WEC
The World Endurance Championship is the leading worldwide series for prototype road-based sports cars. The series’ signature race is the Le Mans 24 Hours, held annually at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France.

I know David Croft pronounced Kubica – Koo-bee-tsah, but I got into the habit of saying Koo-bit-sah. I also used to emphasise the “el” in Vettel, but I blame Allen and Brundle for that! One team that I get wrong is Marussia. I always hear Mah-roosh-y-yah, but I am used to saying it Mah-rush-ah.
My favourite names in F1 were Zsolt Baumgartner, Michael Schumacher, Mika Hakkinen, Robert Kubica, Gaston Mazzacane and Riccardo Patrese, but that’s probably for another thread!
