Please don't refer to them as "lower" classes without the word "speed" immediately following. It's quite insulting to seasoned racers - I too have been guilty of using such a term.
The people who choose those speeds definitely don't always consider their skills to be lower - perhaps reaction time with age - but guile, setup knowledge, driving lines and race tactics can be just as important if not more important in the so called "lower" classes. Their is no pecking order of importance in the rules.
Take AOC as a great example. The skill required by Antoni to win 13.5 was actually the greater challenge than mod in that instance.

There's nothing in the rules to say F3 or Sports cars are lower in the pecking order than F1, but they are referred to as lower classes based on Prestige. Of course those classes are raced by seasoned racers and drivers looking to make their way to F1 alike. The analogy is apt.

Brief so as not to derail.
There was nothing about broken chassis in the proposal justification. In other places a driver who deliberately breaks a chassis doesn't get to replace it.

You'll find the 12th scale rules in the EP Onroad General Rules.
I've probably got a spare Mod motor if you need more speed....

Just accept it, just like I and most others accept we can't compete at the pointy end of the worlds, or challenge yourself and rise to the occasion.
