I am currently looking for the best entry level driver series to
compete in.  I need atleast 2-3 steps in progression from out of race
school series to just below professional series.  These should be
tailored towards road racing and mainly formula cars with cost
effectiveness and driver equality put first.  North American series
are nice but if there are better ones in Europe those would be fine. 
Also if you could find out about sponsership opportunites or sites
with info I will add a little more!!  Thanks
