plus you've only really got the choice of a 996 or tuned 916 to be really competative

The point of that is that they are sharing a grid with Classic Supercup (RSV1000 Aprillias etc) and Classic Superbike (So could be 996RS etc)
But as with the first year of DD where there was only one class some muppet decided to run a 583 in it to prove you could have a cheaper race class. Same as including the AirCooled bikes in Class 1C, but the evidence shows a complete lack of interest.

To get DD off the Ground we required a minimum of 25 riders to commit to the series, which meant they all had to pay £200 up front to enter and then get a bike sorted.

Based on the Post about alternative DD classes last year just goes to show talk is cheap, hence zero Class 1C bikes entered at Brands
