Culling Poorly Supported Classes

[Paul Newns]

I have to congratulate the MSA on refusing championship status to a number of classes which have consistantly low grid numbers, and warning others to improve next season or face the same fate. 750MC had already ended a couple of classes. If poorly supported classes are merged with classes of similar performance we will get better grids; (hopefully) better racing; and fewer meetings, leading to higher manning levels.

I still can't figure out how T-Cars have survived all these years, though. Has there ever been a grid with more than a dozen entries?

There's already a thread for this in National and Club racing - may be better to redirect to that rather than go down the same avenue here.

I also must support the MSA on taking a stand against those Clubs/Championships that can not come up with the goods (sorry about the modern parlance!!).
However, although I also agree about the T-cars, and of course, Ginetta Junior, it does give the up-an-coming yougsters a chance to get into Motor Racing, instead (Perhaps!!!); of stealing cars and terrorising housing estates around Oxford. As Jonathan Palmer has taken control of T-cars, and based them at Bedford Autodrome, then they could blossom from there!! (?)
Be positive, perhaps if Competitors then find they are not up to it, they then could become Marshals.

Go here for the discussion.

Well done the MSA

Not only does it eradicate poor grids etc but it could work to reduce the number of meetings on any given weekend as different clubs seek to amalgamte their meetings with other clubs thus reducing the strain on the diminishing marshaling community..

I've already said this elsewhere... but shouldn't the MSA be helping these series rather than killing them off?

Also, what if someone came up with a series actually designed to run say, 10 cars? a non starter?

Guys, as above, there's already a discussion for this here, so I'm closing this one.

Go on, venture into another forum. Don't be scared
