FRC Classes "then & now"

Post by gordon »

Hi Guys,

Luke sent me the following interesting analysis of the evolution of FRC classes since our "formal" racing began (all in Luke's words):
This is how it started on Wednesday 8th. April, 2009.

1. Formula Libre breeds a pair of classes...

2. GT - LMP then AM

3. GT - LMP - AM then F1

4. GT - F1 / AM - LMP then HS

5. GT - F1 / AM - LMP - HS then SC

6. AM - LMP / HS - SC / F1 - GT then RGT

7. AM - LMP / HS - SC - RGT / F1 - GT then VS

8. AM - LMP / HS - VS / SC - RGT / F1 - GT now the Porsche Challenge in November 2010.

Look how much FRC has grown in 19 months and here is what I recommend for the next pairing of classes.

9. GT - LMP / AM - F1 / HS - SC / RGT - P(orsche)C(up) and VS in the wings... because not all the guys are up to speed, with the cars for this class.
One of the thoughts I've been playing with in my mind - even before our last event earlier this year - is reducing the frequency of our events since its really quite a lot of work prepping, then putting away everything for race nights. Assuming I do so, it means that it will take that much longer for classes to roll around (unless one of you builds a track so that we can alternate locations!). If so, I'm looking at running three classes per event, but with only three races per class.

Your feedback on Luke's observations above as well as my comments below are welcome.

No it isn't Arden. At this point it will be run as an alternative/substitute/one-off class when we feel it is suitable to do so.

2. LMP
3. AM
4. F1
5. HS
6. SC
7. VS
8. RGT
9. MP
10. RC
