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.

Brian C commented on the post, Engines "louder than we thought" – Ecclestone 9 years ago
Whats wrong with having 3 stops?
And the word “sexy” should be banned when debating racing, its creepy.
Brian C commented on the post, Mateschitz warns over Red Bull's F1 commitment 9 years ago
Its only the first race, that viewpoint is hardly justifiable. The cars haven’t been developed yet.
Brian C commented on the post, Some corners 'special cases' in track limits disputes 9 years ago
If they don’t want them driving off the track they shouldn’t have paved everything, put the gravel back.
Brian C commented on the post, F1 possible at Long Beach – promoter 9 years ago
As a fan of Indycar – F1 can shove it, leave the race alone. The Long Beach race is a classic on the Indycar calendar and F1 cars there would be a terrible race. Its not the 60s anymore and the roads haven’t been paved since.

Bottas drove into a wall, DRIVER OF THE WEEKEND, he beat Vettel.
Brian C commented on the post, Loeb aims to beat F1 record at Goodwood Festival 9 years ago
They couldn’t get enough hay bales to contain the F1 cars so they had to cancel.

It’s not going to happen. You don’t troll the FIA and walk away scott free.
Brian C commented on the post, Vote for your Australian GP driver of the weekend 9 years ago
I feel Massa would have been a force to be reckoned with. I hope Williams stays strong.
Brian C commented on the post, Vote for your Australian GP driver of the weekend 9 years ago
His car was making more power than the other Renaults as he was using more fuel. remember when he got excluded from the race because his car was illegal? He had a good drive but it’s been marred by his teams poor choices.
Brian C commented on the post, Do F1's new engines have the right sound? 9 years ago
I’ve done that many times, its amazing. I’m looking forward to the new cars in Montreal.
At least one upside of quieter engines will be the turbo and tire sounds.
Brian C commented on the post, 2014 Australian Grand Prix practice in 100 pictures 9 years ago
Yes, It looks like a plain white car on tv. I would welcome bigger thicker stripes along the side pods but maybe the space is being reserved.
Brian C commented on the post, Do F1's new engines have the right sound? 9 years ago
Exactly. Brundle said it on the broadcast and I agree as well. It’s a good sound just not loud enough. Its very mechanical and throaty but needs more volume to get the vibrations going.
Brian C commented on the post, McLaren reveal livery for Australian Grand Prix 9 years ago
They’re hoping to bland the other teams into submission.
Brian C commented on the post, Who F1 Fanatic readers support at the start of 2014 9 years ago
It probably has something to do with the .co.uk at the end of the domain. Or a lot of ladies from Monaco are fans of the site too.
Brian C commented on the post, Who F1 Fanatic readers support at the start of 2014 9 years ago
We want them to be successful, doesn’t mean they will be.
Brian C commented on the post, 2014 F1 season preview: Stats and data 9 years ago
They hold races in places that can afford one. Fans in seats don’t matter to F1 because they have already received their payments from the promoters. Nobody at the FIA cares about how geographically diverse the schedule is.
Brian C commented on the post, Pirelli confirm in-season test schedule 9 years ago
Is it an advantage testing earlier in the season or later? On one side I can see an early test helping a team get a better understanding of their car for the season but a late season test could be what’s needed […]
Brian C commented on the post, Mercedes will 'show what we're capable of' – Hamilton 9 years ago
I would say don’t count your chickens until your eggs hatch but we don’t even have eggs yet. They will win some races but the championship is still way too far off to crown a winner.
Brian C commented on the post, Mercedes will 'show what we're capable of' – Hamilton 9 years ago
I like Lewis a lot more since he left Team Robot. Hopefully he finds some success this season, it’s nice to see some personality from the paddock sometimes.
The championship is anyones at this point, it’s way […]
