exactly. it has happened to nearly every championship where there is more than one manufacturer in the past . is this new supertourer OSCA/GTNZ eligible, if so, why would you not merge and have a decent 'big banger class' again, until such time as you have enough numbers to run them as a standalone class????.

so it's not the age of the cars that is the problem, it's lack of cars that concerns you as well.

does any one in VEEGA/TMC have a spreadsheet that outlines over the past 2-3 years:
who entered the championship;
which rounds they entered;
which guys did every round.
i believe it would make concerning reading??

So, Mark, DJJ, Biggy G etc, what happens when only 6-10 of these cars front up because of a supposed 'need to change'
