Is the 5 meeting format a bit too restrictive. Our best or most exciting races are normally sprint races. Other than the reverse grid powerboat event at Pembrey, enduros are for most people a nice drive round the track but are often too spread out. Good value from a track time point of view but probably not so good from a £/stiffy point of view.
If we stick with double rounds, we lose the likes of Cadwell & Mallory, both excellent races. For most people, Mallory is accessible, £50 for petrol to get there & £155 for the race, its a good weekend. It would be sad to see that go. Cadwell & Oulton are similar. Cant we stick another three sprints in the calander, Im not sure BARC would go for less anyway.
