Ahem, some agreement!
I thought the tyres were limited to 2 per meeting?
The Combe and Oulton Kent series are strong.
The South and Midlands are weak and should be more Zetec based.
Matt, the problem with the "demand" is that you can't really tell that if they aren't being run at present.
The Southern Zetecs has not really enough numbers but the Kents are struggling as much, if not more.
Let the Zetecs into the midlands as a combined series and numbers would definitely go up. It may take a couple of years but, if no changes are made NOW, the series could be dead by then.
People need to get over the new car bit on Zetecs. Look at the times done in 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and you will see there has been little real improvement in speed.
The 98VD was slower than the 97. The 99 VD was said to be a lot quicker yet the Mygale won in 98 and 99 and the Mygale 99 is the same car as the 98.
The Mygale 2000 and 2001 are the same car too in reality and that car is upto current speed now.
A 96 VD is quick too - 95s and earlier are probably a bit down but even then the 95, 96 and 97 VD has exactly the same rear end!
An older Zetec can be competitive in local series - just as Matt has proved the RF89 can beat RF90s etc in Kent racing.
