It is a class that has been on its way ut for some considerable time Bert
Absolutely no direction from the rulemakers on what to allow, so they just seem to allow anything, and that means money in engines or weight usually win, whereas in the past there as often a bit of ingenuity or a simple formula that could win. Evans Micra was the beginning of the end and Bellerby's Lotus pushed it out of reach, you woudl hvae a great grid if you could find the goo cars from the last 10 years or so, Ward, Beggs, Rea, Boak, Bellerby, Simpson, Turpin, Broatch etc etc.
The class has been left to rot after many attempts to sort it. The Spaceframe idea was the final nail in the coffin, let's make a class where you have to fabricate a chassis to succeed! doesn't take a genius to work out why that failed utterly!
There are ways out, and there are some countries where supernational is thriving, but they have a solid base of cars and engineers that can back them up.
We did have here, but blokes now would rather rally a Mk2 than rallycross it, that's where all the tech is, all you need is some rallycross guys to start using it.
