Question: Is F1 big enough, and free enough of serious competition, to
survive a split into two rival factions? CART (Indycar) evidently wasn't,
and a possible split in the F1 camp is often predicted to be a disaster on a
similar scale, but on a global scale, is there enough support for 2 series?

No, not without serious damage. F1 presents itself, rightly or wrongly,
as "the pinnacle". There can't be two of them! Either one or both
series would be regarded as missing too many of the "names"...

Maybe to start with but I think they could grow. Some of the *names*
will be there sooner or later. The difference in this one would be that
the new series would be views as the good guys and not the bad ones as
the IRL were/are.

F1 could face serious competition and it's more than likely to happen.
Not for sure of course, but I'd be surprised if it didn't...

No, I think you miss the point entirely. F1 is predicated on being
unique and isolated. Hell, Bernie's even made sure there are no
non-championship races now. There's this little hermetically sealed
bubble of identikit races with a closed-shop of teams and drivers. Once
you crack that open, once there's "something else that's F1", neither of
them can legitimately claim to be the pinnacle of anything, so both are
instantly devalued. The existence of any "other pinnacle" destroys both.

Really? Breakaway series it is isn't it?

And that's what F1 what it is, today.

Bernie has also stated that F1 is Extreme Capitalism and that of course
means that competition should be expected sooner or later. Something
else that's F1 would be just that, something else. Equally or better, I
don't know, yet I do know that F1 today isn't what it was and well, has
lost something along the way. A new series doesn't mean they'd be the
'new' pinnacle of motorsport, they'd just be a new series and yes, a
competing series. A monopoly in capitalism is pretty much an oxymoron
and maybe it will get extreme...

Does Extreme Capitalism mean that it competes fiercly, but only with
itself?

What is very common is the emergence of cartels - but cartels are unstable,
because it is always more profitable to double-cross the other members.

So you feel that A1 may not work out due to some sort of secret agenda
from F1?

Think J-class yacht racing. That was an evolutionary dead-end too ;)

Endeavour, Shamrock V and Velsheda are still racing. Cambria has been
re-rated as J-class under the new rules, and a replica of Ranger has been
built to compete.
