Looking at what Dave has put up yes it is unclear but here's what I think he hopes will happen but I could be wrong.

Modern classic now has 5 different classes, I think he is hoping he will get enough to run this as one race

F400 and Lightweight will be combined and again if he can get a big enough grid will run a seperate race.

DD will run its own race.

If he can't get enough for the Modern Classic and F400/Lightweight he may run this as one race but that's seven classes in one race so you'll get a trophy just for competing

Do we know if we will be televised again as there's no mention of it on Hottrax website?

Dave M explained at the end of season wash up that there would be extended TV coverage for the DD series in 2014. This would applied to all the series as the TV allocation was increased. If I recall correctly he explained that they would show more than just one DD race.

As Simon says (I remember that game) Dave mentioned extended coverage, which I understand is 3 X one hour programs, 1 hour for Endurance, 1 hour for two MG1000 races and 1 MG600 race with the Grid setups as with stands warmers etc. Should be fun at places like Cadwell or Brands if your in the outer paddock. That leaves a 1 hour program for the other classes/grids

That sort of answers it.

I really hope it doesn't go the Thundersport way, with 3 different classes out to make one big grid and 3 races within a race.

It's horrible trying to battle with other bikes on the DD's, bloody things get in the way in the corners then disappear down the straights.

In a "look what could happen if you're not careful" way.


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.

P.M.S.L , but then again, we are lucky, it could have been Kev Palmer in his Mankini
