It's actually cool that you think that way. Without new drivers the hobby will just stagnate. Thankfully we've always had something to offer newer drivers whether it's TCS, VTA,GT or something else. I thought the Tamiya Challenge Series was available in Europe? Have you considered trying to start a VTA or GT class yourself ??
