In fairness those series are aimed at very different levels.
For Clios, you have the top level BTCC supporting Cup aimed at would-be professional drivers; a club level series with a combination of old Cup cars and road-saloon spec cars; and finally a junior series for 14-17 year olds.

The junior series has already been culled last year when grid numbers could be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Similar story with Ginetta with the 4 series aimed at different levels, albeit 3 of the 4 are essentially using the same cars, just in different spec.

However, point taken. I seem to recall having the same discussion poor grid number and too many similar series chasing too few entries some ten or more years ago. Seems like nothing changes.
