| Some more thoughts / comments for the pot.
I think the original spirit of DD was to provide affordable racing with a limited number of rounds, catering for those with limited wallets and other commit (eg, family, work, other social etc) which precluded attending a typical 12 - 14 club rounds in a season.
With the above in mind my personal view is that a foreighn round is will probably be too expensive in time and money for me - but on the surface a nice idea.
Nort / South divide? If you exclude Croft & Knockhill, all the other tracks - Oulton, Mallory, Donnington, Cadwell - are centered arround the centre of the UK, with Brands, Snetterton, Pembrey poking out the edges somewhat. So no concious n / s divide me thinks.
I'm in favour of sticking to about 6 rounds next year (for all the reasons mentioned above). However one way to get in extra rounds for those that want to / have the time / have the money while not penalising those of us who can't do more would be to base championship points on say any six rounds. So if you do more than six meeting only your six best results count to championship points. Means I can go on holiday and not drop two championship places because I missed Snetterton!
I would be interested in doing more longer races in conjunction with KRC - but I prefer endurance to sprint racing.  |
