Now people want to change the rules half way through the season.

Not at all mate, just noted that the regs don't match what we were expecting.

I for one have planned the season based on the original race calender, not one that was based on two points scoring races at Snetterton.

Have you been drinking? You planned your season on having a 20 lap race at Snett, and not two 10 lap races? I can see how that would disrupt your planning!

Still unless we get more than 40 entries in for the next couple of rounds Expect DD classes to be sharing the grids with either each other or CB5, Hornets etc.

Agreed. I think that there will be more people doing both classes too - providing they're not combined grids of course!

Even if the Assen race had been run over the full 8 laps, that would have been approx 17 mins.

A 20 lapper at Snett will be approx 27-28 mins.

So it's not anywhere close to being like for like.

Will be interesting to have your opinion should you not get around the first lap, having made all the effort. You'll have to pack up and go home, rather than having a second chance in race 2.

Look at Clint last season. A long old way to go to not get a race. He would have got out for a second race though, had that been an option.

Just one good reason to have 2 races.
