Look on the New Era forum guys-the changes were in response to requests from the riders, most of whom seem happy...................?

As I said all along, the changes were bought about by the riders not NE.

Yes John you're right.

I think that for Superclub riders it is what they want - but not what we signed up for.

Even some of the Superclub riders are a bit miffed that it's come about mid-season, and almost at the closing date for entries - Most riders having entered long ago, thinking they were getting 2 x 6-8 lap races.

I think the second problem which has made this worse today, is the fact that we've all been denied entries to other classes as well.

All we get is DD and that's it, even though many of us had entered Sound of Thunder and/or SV650's.

At least then we would have had decent tracktime and a couple races.

Now we're forced back to just one race, and New Era won't even answer the phones either! (I appreciate that they're probably busy, but none of us can get through - coincidence?)

I even had to pay the extra £5 to become a full member - in order to do extra races - and now I can't enter them!!!

John sorry m8...but cos they are happy we should be.?.....if anything i would expect the DSC/MT to rally round behind the riders of the DD..............??

And as dom has said it was not a great situation with one race, but with the opportunity to enter another class many of us chose to keep our entries in...now with no extra classes it does make it a hard slog to donny.!

He's at Brands Hatch this weekend. Troy Bayliss is Superman, which means Lanzi must be Robin.

"Ducati will promote the September 1 launch of Superman Returns by fielding a special livery during Sunday's Brands Hatch round of the Corona Extra Superbike World championship."
