Formula 3 is possibly the last formula (bar F1) where development is still open and that is technically interesting (and formative). So, in a way, I hope GP3 turns out as uninteresting and unsuccessful as Formula Master or Formula 2. However, given the success of GP2, I'm not betting on it...

I've worked on similar cars to this and the spec all sounds like pretty good stuff. Dallara make very good quality, very well thought out cars.
