I am really shocked ba the idiocy of this idea ...
Can those organizers give me one positive side of this idea , except for "smaller costs" ??? I believe that the only remotely attractive modern 2WD car is the Clio R3 and that is only in fast parts ? Actually , including the R2 cars , that is the only one which actually HAS a sound ...
Honestly , my British friends , if my destiny for the next few year is to watch a 207 R3T struggling to pass a harpin and wearing number 1 on its doors , I would switch to Nascar ... At least those cars have a sound
I didn't mention S1600 because they are an outdated and expensive class , doubt they will make a significant impact on this "premiere" championship ...

This post was of course ment for this thread:
Strange that UK do not follow the R Class concept in total and include R4 as the top class.
Do anyone know why ?
The UK have gone in this direction once before, in the 90s or something, where F2 kit cars was top class - and that was not a huge success if I remember correct.

The Group A7 kit car era of the mid 90s was one of the times when there were more "factory" teams in the BRC than at any other ironically!
I have my own thoughts on this move and will post them in due course but wanted some perspective from other members especially in other parts of the world first and your reactions have been very intersting so far!

While the move to 2wd doesn't exactly excite me, I feel that they have to do something. The series is floundering, dying, and they need to make it interesting. They're stuck really, too many people moaning that costs are too high (meaning limited numbers at the top) and others moaning when they try something different. IMO this won't really cut costs but the only way to tell if it helps increase entries will be to try it.
