This is a problem you often get when there is no higher class for the top people to progress to. The serious money stays in what is supposed to be a entry level clubman class. Budgets escalate and it becomes poor value for money. The same has happened in oval racing with stock rods. That's why I'm banging on about the need for a class 'ladder' with the class above stock hatch being more affordable.
I can't see that procar2000 will be all that more expensive than stock hatch 1600 - and those with bigger budgets will be able to upgrade easier to Div 2. If there are people prepared to spend £10k on a stock hatch, surely these people will be prepared to spend the same on a Div 2 car to run against more modern and professional-looking machinery? |

Production car 2 litre class proposed by the Open Championship (essentially same as 2 litre stock hatch but allows non-hatchback vehicles)

are they not going to split it into two classes in stock hatch 1600 16v one class 8v the other
to be honest i don't get this other than to bring more cars to the class, after watching lydden last bank holiday i thought there was a very visual display of whats going on i saw more cars doing stock hatch btrda clubmans than ever before , is this not showing something like COST !!!!!!!!! |

Why are you lads going on about Div2 GrN as a class to be included, as news is out now that Div 2 is fased out of the ERC after the 2008 season?? In Sweden D2 run alongside D1a as it is fased out and also France is considering fasing out D2 in favour of D1a. OK, it will put a lot of cheap obsolete 2-litre GrN cars on the market for you guys to buy, but it will leave you with yet another class thats not ERC-legal...

Procar sounds like its the way forward but it needs to be controled as their is plenty of cars out their that are bending the rules..
I for one will be watching the class and when the time is right i may come and race again. Marty |
