I think it is being brought in to stop inexperienced novices driving big BHP cars along side professional drivers and drivers who have a lot of track time in a racing environment. I was told that several 24hr races that attract big teams only have Nat "B" requirement. I can see the safety side of things, and to be quite honest if you can't afford an extra £36 then what are you doing driving a big BHP expensive car in the first place. £36 in my world buys me a litre of brake fluid.
