The class did decline, along with the other pancars. Good tyres compounds became hard to get; people moved to TC, and so on. This year however a couple of veterans at our track came together and we decided to all go F1 again this season. Should be a mixed field with Corallies, F103s, F109s, some homebrew. Not sure if there will be F104s, as people seem to be avoiding those. We'll be running foams, always have.
The amount of dislike for the Corally here is.. impressive :P
I suspect the dominance of the Corally was more due to a better range of tyres available (pro 10).
Our latest championship was a mix of F109 - winner, F103 - 2nd, F109 3rd, the 2 Corallys were 14th and 15th. Of course driver ability also comes into play.
