why, because it has been decided by an elite few that " it's my way or the highway", and thus forced the change, instead of the original idea to run a common crate engine in the current shell........as mentioned above

people have a choice........either the are forced to buy a completely new car, and any spares can only be puchased through the car supplier because (i suspect) very few parts are off a production unit. if suppliers for the existing v8 class weren't sanctioned as they are, the cars would be cheaper to build, and the class more sustainable.

We dont think so.
because we, the elite few, have already started to drive nails into the coffin, and will continue to do so until our egos are massaged accordingly??.
there is already too many classes in this country, so instead of merging cars into an existing class and boosting numbers, every season a new class starts........... no f#$%in wonder the summer series is unsustainable.

too many fields/classes spread over too many events, competing for both the spectator sponsor and entrant dollar, during tight financial times does not spell a recipe for success.
