2. A novice driver who races uses another more race worthy chasis (TA05, TB02, or TA04) and doesn't want to buy a new chasis just to race in the spec class once a year.
3. GT3 was supposed to be more of a Novice class with Spec being a beginner class, but many of the better racers like the spec like class of GT3 and spend a ton of money to race in it and that turns the novice off when they see these drivers running times close to GT2 and they are running times closer to the spec drivers.
4. GT3 should be a spec class for the better racers and it should be used with the black can motor.
5. A new class should be made for the true beginner/novice racer allowing any tub chasis and a silver can motor. (This should take the place of the spec class and still be limited to the 7.93 Final Drive gearing that spec is now).

I know I had to buy a TT01 for my son to race in the spec class when he would rather be driving his TA05.
