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 ...

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.

[Luke]

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

[Luke]

Good morning Gordon,

Here's the actual proposed (A to D) class groupings ...

• 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

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.

[steveaca]

I agree with Gordon on starting with Group A.
