Joe said his car didn't meet Pro regs, so what happens then?

I should point out that the class above is Pro 2WD and you'd have to put in a stunner to get within 5% of Brett Winstanley.

It sounds (and always has) like it's all being made up on the fly and will be frigged with as suits the organisers and whatever their (possibly hidden) interests are. Much like it's impossible to fathom some of the FIA's rules, changes and "clarifications".

No, as Pro 2WD is a seperate class.

Sorry guys, that's me out of any more discussions on this forum.
Happy to chat with you at the rounds.

Wow. Hit a little too close to home? :unsure:/>
Why not do yourselves a favour and explain how it all works properly and what the various class requirements really are, instead of leaving people to ask questions. I was there on Monday (as I have been at other races) and half the crowd seemed to be unsure as to what was what, as did at least one of your commentators. The competitors themselves don't seem 100% sure of how it works either.

I'm going to lose a lot of sleep over it.
If TA don't want to explain what's what, then fine by me. In the absence of any clarity, we'll just have to carry on guessing, like we already do.

Just for clarity, I'm nothing to do with the organisation of TA.

So please don't take any offence (and nor should Glen or any of the organisers).
If you've got any insight into the classes and especially the grey area where they all seem to overlap each other performance wise, please try and clarify it to those of us who are totally lost with them. It's really not clear (to me at least) what constitutes a Pro car and a Club car and when a car/driver get's bumped a class or doesn't.

If this is the case why have Mike and Charlie both got a strike against them, or am I missing something?

Yep, you're missing the point that 'they no longer have strikes against them'.
Shortly after it was raised on here, the strikes disappeared off the webpage.
