Just to clarify, I left the series to join Clio Cup - if anyone saw Oulton Park last year & remembers a green car going off twice that was me! Other drivers went into Britcar/Seat Cupra Cup/Clio Cup/MG Trophy - perhaps people wanted a fresh challenge?
Most Rover 216Gti are in Wales? Most Honda CRX in 750mc or sat idle? Tomcats are in regional stuff/LMA? Ventos went to VW Cup/regional stuff, vectras cost the earth to run (Gearbox), btc production cars went to britcar & most Protons went are sat idle....though a couple are in tin-tops. Basically, there's a lot of cars doing nothing!
Seriously though, Super Coupe race entry fees weren't increasing anymore than any other BRSCC championship, Championship entry was only £260 (with tv), & people weren't buying the front of the grid...there were simply drivers with different race pace! Tony Liddell's departure as Co-ordinator was a great shame as the chap that took over had it lumped on him rather late in 2004. It was Tony (& Mavis') baby, I guess when they retired the 'mum & dad' of us all had gone!!
I see Pre-93 doesn't run on slicks...hmm.....!!!!! What do Tin-tops run on?
