The tobacco money that paid for the series dried up.What happened to the Formula Atlantic series, Formula 2 from years back? I was a Rocky Mountain Region SCCA member a number of years ago and was under the impression that those were F1 light? It was FA cars, the FSCCA class with the 2.3 Ford/Mazda motors, and open wheel cars powered by rotaries. Some drivers had sponsorship, and prize money? It's amazing that companies can justify F1's cost anymore.
