Have the rules effectively been changed to force people to pay for 3 races? Previously could you get away with only paying for 2?

I personally would not be very happy with points races on both days. I like racing but I doubt I can commit 3 days for 2 20minute races. I would rather just have the two races on the same day and then clear off.




Think thats a pretty harsh comment and there is no harm at all, if the faster guys leave, to allow others who might not get the chance otherwise to race upfront for a win.

I could be just as harsh to you and say "whats the point in winning a race if it has taken you 4 seasons to do it?"

I was in a race at Donington 3 of us actually and I ran out of fuel would I have been happy getting a third out of a 3 horse race..................................No not in the slightest.



If you stall on the grid or get away badly it would be the same with 2 class B bikes. Letting them go early will mean that on the short tracks NONE of the class B will get full race distance. We will all just have a "+ 1 lap" on our time sheet and one less lap.

Having quicker class A bikes already ends the race too soon for all but the top 3-5. As the first class B is usually about 1 min behind A then that extra 15secs could end the race early for all but the 1st place.

Which as I found at Brands means that the current jump start 10sec punishment is useless at this point. While I should have been bumped to 3rd place in race 2 due to Jimbos 10sec jump start penalty because the class A finished so much quicker I never got a time for my last lap so on the results I was apparently a whole lap behind him and his penalty meant NOTHING.

Not trying to grab a trophy of Jimbo, but I could have done with those 3 points. Your thoughts Kev/Chris?

I was in a full grid always and in 4 or 3.5 seasons I have never fell off, so don't get on your fkin high horse to me. Or better still discuss it to me personally rather than here.
