British GT for shake up

The format for the British GT championship could be changed in a bid to attract new teams to the series. A 2 hour race is being considered, with a dry run later in this year.

2 hour race sounds good, the more action the better in my view, however if that happens they'll need a big shake up , of the pits what with refuelling being an issue, might make it harder for me and you to get in to the pits (tho saying that ill be working with one of the teams next summer etc) MOre cars would be good too, more cars equals more fans equals more sponsorship equals more tv coverage equals more cars! Phew that was very taxing!

At the moment the idea around the re-fueling is to have each team use the bottle system (a-la NASCAR) it is a safe method and most teams have these bottles now, so there shouldn't be any major expense.

TVR - let me guess who youre going to be with - TVR???

As for more cars/fans/TV I would propose the following.
For cars, relax the rules on type of cars eligible - more along the Belcar route
Fans, reduce ticket price, the cheaper it is, the more people come, the higher the overall revenue.
TV, a dedicated show on mid morning, like last year, and NO Rob Murphy, the guy cant comentate lets have Paul Musselle and David Addison, at least there is some knowledge there.

its really good (tho i would say that) its a two year HND and you can extend it to a Bachelor of Engineering. you learn all about race cars building, stripping, tuning etc and in the second year you build your own race car all on your own you can pretty much do what you want within reason (and Budget! Fingers crossed for the Lottery win so i can do a speed 12!) I have to do work experience in between the two years and during the second year. I start in Sept and cant wait1
