I hope they do attract some names, but come on. Read the press release. 

I could 'invite' Lewis Hamilton to a BBQ in my back garden and say "Lewis could be there!" but it'd be BS.

Is your back garden in Croydon?  if so, then no chance!

Better have some meat substitute ready.

I see that this diversion into BBQ territory has prompted the 'lunches' reference in the thread title to be finally corrected!

While I agree with the above sentiment that the field needs a few more cars and maybe a couple of name international drivers to add some marketability for today I think I'll just enjoy watching the action we do have from the Bend on SBS ( followed by Macau and Brazil.) 

 

Thinking about it though there is a fundamental difficulty in assessing any series these days, and that is the large budgets required make it very difficult for drivers to do more than one series making it difficult to gauge the level of the competition. Maybe they need to look at drivers who are in the W Series (which they don't need a budget for) such as Jamie Chadwick or Alice Powell.

Very interesting drivers confirmed for the first S5000 race so far with Rubens Barrichello, Giancarlo Fisichella, Alexandre Prémat and James Davison already in as well as Luis Leeds

What with Rubens and Fisi in the field, it's a shame Webber is done with racing - could've been just like the old days

Lewis leads again?  Damn, this series is going to be just as boring as F1!

Fisi? That will be great, he is still one of my favorite drivers.

 

I am curious to see how he will adapt to the platform given he has been racing sporty cars for many years post F1.

It sounds like the organisers have wandered down to the local job centre, and offered anyone in the queue a drive.
