I think that's a good move. Some decent strict class structures now and everything will be in place for a cracking 2010

Thanks for the link Pablo

From a circuit point of view this is going to make it much easier to organise and run on the day, im pleased.

They were discussing this last year. Good news. Will be better structured and there will be some added regulations.

It will be interesting to see what differences this makes, as from a teams point of view i felt the structure and organisation was good. The safety rules were fairly inline with the msa, except for cages, extinguishers and electrical cut offs. Will just have to wait and see what this means and how much if anything this will cost us.

I would agree that Andy and Glen's organisation was, in the main, very good. I thought the class structure lacked a robust clarity but that aside, it was a good series.

Good points about the costs Pablo.

I actually like the limited structure to the series, you have fwd, rwd & awd and basically that is it, if your too quick you get bumped up to the next class. We don't partically want to compete on a totally level playing field, we like the variety of cars engines and spec. Still plan to enter mid season this year and a full season next whatever the changes are.

For me, it's too easy to get big grey areas about which cars are pro cars, club pro cars and club cars. I love the drivetrain stuff Pablo as that is clearly defined, the rest of it is open to perversion though, in my opinion.

I would agree that the classes club & clupro are open to abuse but the main those people are known, the fact that people are now buying ex btcc cars to compete in club class is interesting to say the least. We have set our goals and targets for the next 2 seasons and as long as we achieve those, then we're winners as far as we are concerned:auto:
