I think you lot in the US have got a much better handle on what the amateur racer needs class wise.

Here in the UK pretty much the slowest class we have in official races is boosted 13.5, some smaller race series run 17.5 but it is mostly 13.5.

At the big national series its Mod or 10.5, they are doing a 'clubman' national series this year for slower classes but I still think you guys have the better idea. Our classes are just too fast for beginners and if you do the 'clubman' series the level of competition won't be the same. Over in the US your top guys run 17.5, I can only hope the BRCA sees the light.

I wish we had well supported classes like GT and VTA as well, cos they look fun for when you fancy a more 'scale' racing experience.

Oh and I wish we had your prices as well
