So, back to our regularly scheduled program…
In this thread I see about 6 different track represented with some drivers interested in F1, and probably another 10 tracks represented by lurkers just thinking how great it would be if they had an F1 class. I think the best path to get the class running at any track is to simply get the F1s out on the track and run them. Don’t get too hung up on what rules to run by at first as that will work itself out in the end. Adding a governing body and electing a Grand Poobah is a whole extra set of troubles that could distract from what works best at a local level. Personally, I like the idea of running rubber tires and 21.5/silver can any width open wheel car to start out with. If enough people join in, make two classes for realistic cars (narrow) and vintage (191mm or wider). Then bump it up a level and try the UF1 format with pit stops.
Who has raced F1s lately? We just finished up an UF1 series with 52 participants over 8 venues. It all adds up to something like 1000+ miles of racing altogether not counting practice or qualifying.
