Dismissed by some as a ploy amid Max Mosley’s power struggle with Bernie Ecclestone, others - including one unnamed GP2 team boss - slammed the stated ideal budget of 200,000 euros (£160,000) per car per season as “bullsh*t.”
“Even if everyone worked for free and we set ourselves up as a registered charity, the team’s travel expenses alone would be more than 200,000 euros,” he said.
“No minimum or maximum price is indicated in this tender,” an excerpt of the FIA statement reads.
The FIA also said Formula Two will be a ten-round annual championship in Europe between April and September, with events taking place on Saturday and Sunday. Races will cover approximately 175 kilometres.
