You just don't realise how politely people reply to you on this forum!

Most people would just tell you to piss off.

No. Tends just to be the ones whom can't be understood.

As you didn't seem to be able to communciate it effectively, the first part of what you posted translates as 'competing in a one off event does not constitute taking part in a series'.

As for the rest of it - I have neither the time or inclination to bother understanding.

I honestly haven't a clue what that means.

From Seatfreaks replies... I don't think you are supposed too!

OK! :uhoh:

I will go through it carefully.

Imagine I am a Team Principal in the WTCC. I would have personal doubts about how much I would learn from the WTCC by doing only one round. In order for me to learn more about what it takes to be a top team I would have to enter my team in more rounds.

For those that struggled I am not really a Team Principal. I am only one to illustrate an opinion. When I say "Personal doubts" I simply mean I wouldn't be so sure. And what I wouldn't be so sure about is what I would learn - gain knowledge of - by doing only one round of the WTCC. In order to learn more about what it takes to be a top team I would have to do more - rounds of races.

I guess you'd learn that you had the ability to run in WTCC in the future, both in drivers, ability to set the car up on new tyres, adapt to a new circuit quickly etc

Would be ace to see SEAT Sport UK there, but they'd need to buy a couple of flat floors, and set the car up to them, and set it up to the new tyres too

FINALLY!!!! Well done and top marks to you m0rk :) :up:

Iain, Funks, Alfa Fan, bt52b and peewhee all failed abysmally to do what you what you did. They all could learn something from you.

That is EXACTLY another way of putting what I said. I don't think I would feel I would be able to learn how to run my team at a high standard in the WTCC within the space of one meeting. If it was just to get a sample of life in the WTCC then I would do only the one.

I don't know what teams like TFS-Yaco Racing, Elgh Motorsport and Polestar Racing realy got out of the round they did but I am thinking we will certainly not see them do a full season next year.

I would also love to see SEATSport in the WTCC. But how would two factory SEAT teams work? Then again theirs 3 factory BMW teams. Schnitzer, RBM and ROAL.

Of course there's only so much you can learn from a limited race programme, but it's still better than doing nothing. I'm sure many teams would like to enter more rounds, but budget or other committments preclude them from doing so.

Although last year they fielded 6 cars, there were only '2' per team

SEAT Spain, Oreca (Fr) and one other, but I can't remember who - maybe the Italian outfit.

I guess Oreca are still running some cars though, as they're doing the engines for all the petrol cars at the moment.
