When it was announced I remember the text said something like "with some rounds very close to the Spanish border"

Not even Spa! That's odd. Btw, the Spanish are lacking decent formula series below the European F3 Open. GT Sport should do something about that.

That's strange indeed. All these FR2.0 championships are overlapping each other, in particular this new MEC, and yet all of them cover unnecessarily great distances. I thought that a British, an Italian, a West European (France, eastern Spain and Belgium), and a North European (Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and Czech Republic) championship were enough.

It is just the new name of the Swiss Formula Renault championship.... I am not even sure if the Italian championship will happen in 2010 as the new formula abarth seems to have the favour of many italian teams |

MEC sounds weird in so many languages :P
I heard that the car is produced, hold your breath, in India! They have had problems with the gearbox in testing, the paddle shift mechanism creating problems. |

Caparo is a big engineering company with branches all over the world http://www.caparo.com/en-gb/index.aspx so not a really big surprise if some parts are produced in Asia, i think some peoples should change their mind Asia is not only cheap and low quality, they are also able to produce good quality stuff |

Yeah I know, I'm typing from Chinese made PC, so... but they will have to prove their worth in this field. Otherwise I'm all for Asian carbon production because this will make the pricing lower, though I don't know if this is the case with Caparo.

FR2.0 WEC was an expanded French championship, FR2.0 NEC was an expanded German championship.

That is true - national championships should have been left alone. Guess the MEC will fold before it gets going then aswell...

It will have far better value as Swiss championship, it wasn't obviously run in Switzerland before and I don't understand this name change. Most of the drivers are Swiss, so it's worse for them. They will at least keep the Italian's name.

NEC has had 2 rounds (4 races) now - good car #'s - Kevin Korjus seems to be the FRenault star of the moment having won in Eurocup & NEC this year...
