How much it costs to hire track time at a meeting is pretty prohibitive on split grids - to fill them both they'd have to be over 60 entries, which is nearly every car that has appeared in DTRC this year, and that's before you have to split 5 classes into 2 grids, getting as near maximum capacity as possible so that the club doesn't lose money.
I don't think booking split grids at meetings (with the exception of Lydden) would have been justified based on the numbers entering last year, good as they were. Next year? Who knows, maybe it's a possibility? Having seen the Brands timetable, I've no idea where the second hour of DTRC could be squeezed in - it looks pretty tightly scheduled as it already is, so probably would have had to have been sorted at the beginning of the year when the calendar was drawn up.
Although it's a shame that not everyone who wants to race will get to, at least there's too many rather than too few.
