Usually when the FIA gets their grubby paws on something, its not for the best.  Remember how they managed to screw up Group C?

The FIA's track record is pretty poor. They promise to build championships up and then wreck them. Almost as though it was deliberate...after all, why would audiences want to watch anything other than big, moneyspinning F1?
