S1's to mix it with the Tasmins ?

[Graham]

In the past serveral people have said they would come and race in the tasmin challenge, if only it wasnt tasmins...

So with early s1's comming right down in price, is there anyone who would put there racing boots where their mouth is and come out to play if s1's were included in the regs.

The regs would be tweeked to ensure that there was no advantage in either car....

Great idea, but I always feel the Tasmins are too slow to be entertaining to watch, remember going to a race at Oulton Park once and left helf way through it was so boring .. surely it'd be better to have two different performace cars so at least you'd get the faster cars coming round to lap the slower ones .. the V8 wedges would be a better addition in a higher class. Also the drivers that habitually win in the lower class should be forced to move up to the V8 class if they win more than one championship maybe? .. thank goodnes for john Sumner recently breaking the top three monotony .. it's not necesarily more cars that's required, it's more excitement I think .. opinions?

Thats a point but the trouble with mixed class racing is it just makes things worse, Just look at the midgets they have big grids but it ends up with lots of different speed groups.

SOme of the best racing i've seen is single class. The ginettas are only very sligtly quicker and its the size of the entry that leads to interesting racing.

ANother option is to run with the porsche 924's as they are the same speed and that would get us a championship status... and again single class.

A few of us would love to run v8's but i think cost makes it a non starter.... and moves away from everyone being up for a flag win

p.s. alledgedly the race tasmins were banned from certain tvr trackdays for embarasing a certain small maufacturers latest baby on the track so their not that slow...

If I had the money I would jump at the opportunity.

I asked about this from the moment I owned an S. WOuld have loved to race one ...

If anyone is in need of a driver and wants to stump up all the money then I'm ya' man .... well, at least an option

Didn't do a bad job of getting past a couple of 355 challenge cars through the twisty bits at Croft last season either.

So will we see another* Joospeed S sideways around every corner while lapping the whole lot over and over?? (*I assume they wont let the big V's come out to play?)

Perhaps the series just needs some really inexperienced drivers to mess up often - spins, fishtaling etc etc Im available most weekends...
