For my class CTCRC via the BARC offers a great championship at most of the better circuits but in my case it is a bit illogical for me to enter it. Therefore I choose to run in a series.

AFAIK there are 20 lappers for £250-£300.00, or if I go with the MGCC (et's say) I can get an hour race for around £450.00.

It is for me. However IMO the main thrust of this thread is more about "monopolies" or at least perceived "monopolies". Then of course there's Redwater to consider who run one of the best long distance historic races on the calendar, or the Peter Auto organisation who (as I was recently informed) holds the keys to racing at Pau, LMC and other major tracks (Monaco?).
Frankly, apart from the locations or status of the events, as a competitor it matters not a jot who gets my cash. HSCC for instance do not cater for my class thus even if I did wish to join in there's no chance which is a kind of reverse monopoly don't you think?
