Goat Boy has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

The Top class doesn't need to be the fastest.
Just to play devils advocate maybe the TRS should have been the top class?

Realistically, people would not expect an open wheeler to be slower than a tin-top, so the TRS get an exemption, but if you look at say the V8 Supercars, can you name another tin-top class that race with them that goes round the circuit faster?

I think the top class needs to be top in one way or another, which was the problem with the NZV8's last season - no top drivers, old slow cars and small grids. The revamp was well overdue. If they do manage to get a third manufacturer on the grid I would be up for going to watch, for sure.
