Not sure I understand the question! The class regs have been split deliberately to hopefully attract slightly different cars in MC to FC and it maybe that a Pre 1990 2499cc car will be better off in MC than FC as it would be in the 2 litre to 3 litre Class in FC. Hope that makes sense.
There's nothing to stop an FC car competing MC as well in the appropriate class.
The single driver staying in the car at pit stops has been asked before and the club have always said no, as it adds timing/ monitoring complications.

Thanks Andy. I guess the class structure is also designed to attract the 3.2 911 into modern classics. Surely if you have already got the were with all to police the 30 second class winning penalties and the 1 minute penalty for two cars in one race. Surely it would not be to difficult to police the single driver lone pit stop. Or maybe there are too many lone drivers racing

And the Boxsters and 1.8 VAG Turbo cars etc, whilst still hopefully attracting 3 litre cars.The "success penalty" cars tend to come in one at a time and there are not that many of them. The timing can be done in one place. Lone drivers can stop anywhere up the pit lane and we don't know how many there will be.

What are the entry fees? And remind me, is it 30 min qualy, then 40 min race with manditory drive change?
Any weekend where there is more than 1 race on the same day?
Club Membership is £39 per driver and series registration is £99 per car. Entry fees vary from £295 at Anglesey to £325 at Snetterton and £365 at Oulton Park, Brands Hatch & Donington Park. Fees will be the same in 2013 as they were in 2012.Any weekend where there is more than 1 race on the same day?
30 mins qualifying (I think we say a minimum of 25 mins, in fact, but the aim is for 30 at most places and this will always be in the timetable so that its clear) and a 40 min race with a mandatory pit stop (single drivers are allowed but they must still stop and simulate a driver change by getting out of the car and then back in).
Qualification and races are all on the same day. Some cars, if they are eligible, can race in more than one series so for example a Porsche 944 can race in both "Future Classics" and "Modern Classics" races.
I think the plan is to possibly have a double header meeting at Pembrey in 2013 so that all series will get the opportunity to race on both days but this has still to be confirmed.
At some meetings we do have a 15 or 20 min Sports Vs Saloons single driver sprint race to close the day out if there is time in the timetable and all entrants on the day can race in this as well, but this doesn't happen at every meeting, it depends on what the planned content is. When this race is planned the entrance fee is usually very attractive to those that have already raced. Hope that helps.

If you enter more than one series in the same weekend is there a discount in entry fees for the second race?

The answer is yes we will give a £25 discount on the extra race(s) as long as the races that you are entering in the weekend are the CSCC races. (ie if you are racing in a guest series such as Bernie's Historic V8 Challenge then the discount doesn't apply). The days are irrelevant, it just at the same meeting.
Also you cannot do a Saloon v Sports car race with the discount on the already really cheap price we offer in a different car or if the car has a different driver to one that has competed already. Hope that's clear!
Registrations are coming in now and I'm looking forward to the new season. We have registrations from cars as varied as VW Golf and Audi TT to Ferrari 355 and BMW 130 at the moment. Any more for any more?
I'm still hoping to race myself, possibly in a Ginetta, but work is getting in the way of me actually finding a car at the moment!

Will be back in the Porsche 928 or an E46 M3 shared with my brother... Just wanting to make sure cars are ready in time... I'm still hoping to race myself, possibly in a Ginetta, but work is getting in the way of me actually finding a car at the moment!

P.S. Still think forcing the single drivers to come out of the car during pitstops discourages Hans use if the driver has no helpers to hand...

The Boxster should do well in its class, especially as the class limit is 3.2 litres.
Come to think of it a 2.5 litre one would be a good car for the 1800 to 2500cc class too.
Cheers Andy - all registered. And looking forward to it. Come to think of it a 2.5 litre one would be a good car for the 1800 to 2500cc class too.
What's the tyre of choice for most people ?
