A forecast full of interest Gordon,

Looking back at FRC 2016 racing groups and how it just managed to make 4 rounds of (A to E) racing but was planned to stop off at group B ... in December same year.

In 2017 with a new rounds of well thought out racing groups - I would like to put forward/recommend - FRC racing re-start at group C - being suitable for a continuous racing role and this time should make a grand 6 rounds of (A to D) racing groups ... in December same year.

Here's a scheduled forecast - starting off with group C. and the dates listed ...
  • C. Jan 19

Happy New Year to the whole FRC family! I'd like to wish you and yours all the best for 2017.

Came up from 3 days of no internet DDI a few hours ago and am just now visiting the forum.

Luke, were you referring to my proposed class groupings here?

viewtopic.php?p=5214#p5214

I guess we'd all like to know what groups the letters mean.

Many happy returns Gordon and downright correct with your proposed class groupings.

Good morning Gordon,

Here's the actual proposed (A to D) class groupings ...
  • gordon wrote:Thinking of this a bit more, I really feel that we need to aim for no more than three classes per event. Based on this, here's a slight rearrangement of Steve's suggestion that I think will work:

    A:
    MGT IROC / NSS IROC (Avg of 6 races)
    MP (3 races)
    RGT (3 races)

    (12 races total)

    B:
    HS (3 races)
    APC (3 races)
    VS (3 races)

    (9 races total)

    C:
    MC IROC / SGTC IROC (Avg of 6 races)
    RC (3 stages of avg of 6 cars)
    SC (3 races)

    (12 "races" total)

    D:
    F1 (3 races)
    GT (3 races)
    LMP (3 races)

    (9 races total)

    In each group, I've arranged the classes so that they generally go from slowest to fastest.
Gave thanks (up above: AF, JC & the HG) for second bright and sunny day in 2017 8-)

Enjoy the day,

Luke

I personally like starting the year at the top with group A, but if the majority prefer to start at group C, I'll go along with that.

I agree with Gordon on starting with Group A.
