I see the FIA is launching Formula 4 - a category to sit between karts and F3, in other words about where FF1600, FF2000, Formula Renault, Vauxhall Lotus et al once sat.

It would be good to hear from some of the guys who have done FF for years, either as drivers or engine builders etc, to find out just why (and when) the budgets sky rocketed because I don't believe it was always this way.
