I dare say that by not giving the lower classes (quite apt really) the exposure and video action shots (that I for one would argue that the Club guys are fully entitled to) it can only have a negative impact, especially when those same drivers try to entice future sponsorship for subsequent seasons

and with regard to the lack of driver/car profile, well there's no excuse for that in my opinion whether it be intentional or otherwise is quite demeaning

Guys, I really do suggest you look at the website, what about the 29 club cars featured here.

I have read that and class that as an event report and not a specific and or detailed driver profile. The report depicts what happens at each round and yes it is still valuable publicity but a profile page would go a fair bit further.

The more pics, videos, magazine coverage, profiles that you can send to your sponsors the happier they are.

It seems as if Time Attack are putting in a real effort to up their game. The website is getting updated more regulary and I also noticed that at the last round their facebook page kept being updated throughout the event. So fair play to them and keep it up.

Also glad to see that some early discussion about next years circuits has started.

Now, onto the whispers/rumours about changes for 2015. As long as they remember that us poor club class guys and i mean poor have to plan and budget months ahead.

For example. We have finally decided on what tyres we will be using and as such have now done a test day with them and made modifications to the car to allow us to run them. Now in preparation for 2015 we plan to have our tyres for the year bought by the end of this year, so if a change was made to, say, tyres, there'd be no money left in the budget to buy more sets.

Just my 1p worth, can't afford 2p :)
