Looking to be a great plan for next year.
UK Cup will be so much better being an SR3 only race...SR8 get their own

As someone who doesn't have a clue what's being proposed for 2013 (no idea what that flyer is trying to say), it'd be nice to know what these plans are, afterall many of us are only existing Paying Customers?

Would it be better and if so for who? I recollect only eight or so 3s at BHGP UK Cup not long ago plus about a dozen 8s so hardly a great grid. Watching just a few 3s race one another over two 20 minute legs doesn't sound especially exciting for either drivers or spectators does it?

Good point Trev (nice to have you back by the way).

The Donington rounds though were rather good with the split grids with plenty of cars to play with.

Whether we be an entrant / spectator / mechanic / helper/ sponsor/ supporter or just here for the buffet a seperate race for 3's and another for 8's ( if both grids are plentiful )-are a good thing to promote good racing in only my opinion!.
Regular Radical goers will know the difference beetween both cars during a normal race , but to the occasional visitor of meetings it can be both at the same time a really good race and a very slight confusion without T.S.L !!
The seperate races (if well supported) would hopefully be more clear cut??-- This is all subject to confirmation of what we think/ or confirm what will be happening obviously.
There is loads of ways to see this.
Entrants!!, It would be an understatement to say that with the money involved you have the absolute largest say!!
Radical , what works best for them practically and financially of course.
Immediate Family / Friends / Followers of Entrants
Spectators?? after all Bottoms on Seats, but times have changed and attendances a sign of the times so a lot of facilitys and Really good " Racecards" go relatively underused / under- attended respectively.
Basically any race series is a lot of things to many different people on so many levels, but I can only say I only get the impression The Company does have its own mind and own direction, but they have listened to any given Paddock or customers?? . The SR 1 cup... can only be a good thing at a sensible entry level ( changes Berts junk straight back into treasure!!!)... It may be strategic, but also it may have been created to meet a want / need of customers that are not but would be. Lastly , many more overall racewinners is a plus??

Also , 2 last points, ..I have been confused with Tsl !! , let alone without!!,and on your Point Splitpin there are endless people glad you are still existing!!! , let alone an existing customer.. my best wishes ,hope all is well.
All this comes from some would say a sad enthusiast.. but I'd be a lot sadder if I wasnt enthusiastic!! hope that explains things!!

I resemble that remark. I'll have you know that there's been a lot of interest lately.
