I know from people I race with it's discouraged people from 21.5, 2 years ago we were at 10-15 cars at a major event for the class, now we're down to maybe 7 or 8 at best and for some the reason is these continually changing rules. Having tested the proposed control motors, dyno'd them against the usual motors we'd run, it'd make for a very depressing race. Lap times were 4-5 seconds a lap slower and with the enforced FDR the motor got hot as it was at max rpm 10 metres into a 200-300m straight.
