Duncan and Ken are getting there there and that series will in itself continue to grow over the next couple of years. I am reasonably confident, based on the gossip and support it is getting, to see more Rovers, one or two 635's, a Volvo, Alfetta GTV6, Metro Turbo along with a host of 1600cc Escort's and the odd Golf's competing sometime in the next 2-3 years alongside the Group 2 CSL's etc.

However, I can think of no better idea than what Jonny had already suggested in inviting the MRL/JDC series to join up with the Fuji lot at the Classic and maybe one or two other major events next season?

One suggestion might be running them alongside the CSCC Special Saloons for example at a few meetings, that would create double the interest for some entrants and spectators alike!

Another one would be looking at trying to get on the newer Historic Festival cards, like the Silverstone one in April, the big Donington one in early May and maybe something at Brands other than the HSCC Historic Superprix?

Then for a few races we could have the best of both ideas (the upto 1986 and post 1986 Group A's) without overly affecting the growth of either of the individual series principles.
Thanks for the reply. So if I want to see the late 80's and 90's super tourers, what would be the best place to look?
