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.

Thanks. :)
midgrid commented on the post, "Grand Prix Who's Who" fourth edition reviewed 10 years, 6 months ago

“And drivers who failed to qualify for any races are also omitted so there’s no Pedro Chaves or Perry McCarthy.”

The original edition (which I also own) had a “Non-Starters” appendix – does this no longer exist?
midgrid commented on the post, Vettel: Rindt had "that special something" 10 years, 10 months ago

I am not aware of any documentaries (in English at least!), but I would definitely recommend Tremayne’s biography, which is excellent. There are also biographies (which I have not read) by Heinz Pruller (an […]
midgrid commented on the post, Take the Spanish Grand Prix F1 Fanatic Quiz 11 years ago

I was very lucky on this quiz – my internet connection died during the five minutes, but fortunately I managed to reboot it before the time ran out. Up to the top of the leaderboard (until Luis Fernando takes over again)! :)
midgrid replied to the forum topic What is the best type of Cheese? in the group Off-topic 11 years, 1 month ago

I love cheese! Whether’s it’s holey and rubbery, soft and white, or smelly and veined, it’s all good to me!

Some of my favourites include:

Brie
Camembert
Coquetdale
Reblochon
Chèvre (goat’s […]

A quiz on my favourite driver? Thank you very much!
midgrid started the forum topic 2011 season review DVD in the group British Touring Car Championship 11 years, 6 months ago

Anyone else got this? I received my copy today, and have managed to watch just under half of it so far (I was ill all day so I had nothing better to do).

As usual with the two-disc format, the review is […]
midgrid started the forum topic New points system for 2012 in the group British Touring Car Championship 11 years, 6 months ago

http://www.btcc.net/html/generalnews_detail.php?id=2762

The new points system will award points down to 15th position, in the sequence 20-17-15-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.

This makes sense due to the […]
midgrid started the forum topic Arena and Chilton to the WTCC? in the group British Touring Car Championship 11 years, 6 months ago

I read in this week’s Autosport that the Arena team (currently competing under the Team AON) banner will most likely compete in the WTCC next year, and that Tom Chilton will almost certainly be one of the drivers […]
midgrid replied to the forum topic Best car you've ever driven in the group Off-topic 11 years, 7 months ago

I should also say that I very much recommend taking part in driving experience at a proper racetrack, as even though you’re travelling at reduced speed compared to a professional driver, it’s still far faster […]
midgrid replied to the forum topic Best car you've ever driven in the group Off-topic 11 years, 7 months ago

I’ve had two driving experience sessions at Croft. In the first one, the track was very wet and I drove a Porsche 911 and a Ginetta G20. The second one was in dry weather, and this time I drove a Porsche […]

midgrid replied to the forum topic Which of the 2011 GP2 drivers should be in F1 in 2012 – or later? in the group GP2 11 years, 7 months ago

Grosjean definitely. If the dominant champion can’t get a drive, then it will damage the creditability of the whole series (I know Pantano didn’t get a drive after his 2008 victory, but he was even more […]
