My only fear with FE so far with it's driver listing? It's a role call of F1 rejects and has-beens and there's no real young talent in there. It's going to be hard to find a poster boy in there that motorsport fans will be drawn too.

Edit: If some of the feeder series 'guns' skip F1 to go to FE, that would be interesting. It'll also send a clear message to F1 about where the future of motorsport is.

I find it quite good for a brand new championship, you can´t expect big names signing for something this new

The driver listing is better than I expected

I guess I'm comparing to other situations. Look at soccer in the US. Beckam was a huge name and really laid a solid platform for growing the sport in that market. True, he wasn't in his prime but he was a poster boy. Other sports do sign big name signings to grow the sport.

We haven't seen the whole list yet, so there is time. The sport needs one big name. A poaching. Something that will get people talking. It will also help with credibility. My thoughts anyway.

[Andres125sx]

Agree about that

The online fan vote, which will close shortly before the start of a race, will allow the three most popular drivers to receive one boost each, which will increase the power of the car from 133kw (180bhp) to 200kw (270bhp).
