I've noticed that the FIA are looking for potential promotors to express interest in promoting the planned new Formula 2 championship: http://www.fia.com/invitation-tender
Here's a few details about the proposed Formula 2 from the call for expression of interest...
- Target for F2 to begin in 2016
- Calendar to include between 10 and 12 (inclusive) competitions of 2 races each
- "The Promoter is invited to propose a mechanism where the winner of the FIA F3 European
Championship would have access in the best possible conditions to a full season in the
Championship the year following the obtention of its title."
- "The Promoter is invited to propose mechanisms where each season the FIA F2 Championship
and its stakeholders would benefit from of privileged access and contacts with the FIA Formula
One World Championship stakeholders." ...interpret as you may
- Technical specifications for a "Transition F2" (first two years) and "Future F2"
- Regarding the "Future F2", "A hybrid approach is expected in the car concept", whilst the target season cost is "€ 1 million.- per season per car"
So what does everyone else make of this?
