Why not allow Ralt RT3 to compete ? There are a number of these classic cars around. I have one and would and have to run in Monoposto with a vauxhall engine. I have a spiess engine and the car can be converted to flat bottom spec if needed. However lap times seem no different to middle ranking Classic f3 times in downforce mode. So why exempt the RT3 ?
You dont have to run with a vauxhall engine in mono. My mate runs one with an Rs2000 engine. I have a Reynard 883 with a vw Brabham. To keep it simple and use the same engine mounts/adaptor plates i have fitted a VW 2.0l 16v. Fits ok.
As for classic F3 not allowing RT3 to enter is sad. The series could do with a few extra cars. Make them carry ballast to equal things out.
