FORMULA ONE faced an uncertain future on Friday night as the Association of European Car manufacturers (ACEA) signed an agreement to go ahead with plans to set up a rival series in 2008.

The ACEA statement, issued through Ferrari owners Fiat, added: "The goal of the manufacturers is to promote the interest of the sport, to make sure that the races are made freely available to the broadest possible public worldwide, and that the income greatly benefits mainly those who invest in order to render the competition possible."

 IGN Boards - '' Future Shock ''
''FIA President Max Mosley has revealed his ideas for the future of Formula 1 and is aiming to follow up his engine freeze regulations with a new era of energy storage devices and beyond that a new formula in 2011 that would restrict not the capacity of the engine but rather the energy consumed.
Mosley says he wants the car manufacturers to decide on this new formula on condition that the engines are racing engines and that it would be relevant to road cars.
This mitigates against the survival of small F1 teams and suggests that the future will be a world in which there will be only four or five big F1 teams and a bunch of dependent satellite operations with no real hope of ever being successful.
