OK, so here's the magic question:
F500 is FAR less expensive than FF for the same relative performance.
We
all tend to feel that this is a major part of what makes F500 great.
However,
is it possible that many of the potential entrants feel that this is a
detractor - that somehow it can't be a 'real' open-wheel car if it
didn't cost as
much as a new BMW? How do we sell around this?
There was an interesting take on the expense/perceived value equation
in today's Seattle Times in an article about Dale Chihuly. Seems that
early in his career an Arizona gallery was having trouble selling his
"art." He added a zero to the prices and the pieces sold out.
Unfortunately, many people operate under the impression that more
expensive=better; I'm not one of them. If this class escalates to FF
(or even FV) costs, I'll go back to Solo. And that would be a shame,
race tracks are much more fun.
