My tuppence is that DD was designed as an affordable way for people to dip their toes into the racing world and it is achieving its aims admirably. Other classes may be harded to keep a lid on.

A 748 class might be fairly cheap to get into, but would likely end up being expensive to be competitive as there is a huge differential in power and ability between the base and racing models over the years.

Even a 900SS/800SSie would be difficult to draw guidelines for, owing to the variety of ways that extra performance can be wringed out.

This is not to say that there shouldn't be an extra class, but that entrants should go in with their eyes open. The MT has done an awesome job of setting up the first series but remember that they are still experiencing a steep learning curve and to draw up rules for another series when the lessons from the current series are still coming in thick and fast may be a step too far.
