Once a car is in motion, nothing stops things breaking. Having driven slower cars over an extended period, I can assure you that damage is significantly lower - force of impact increases as a square of the speed so anything slower makes damage less.
The slower the car the harder it is to drive fast, and there is no substitute for learning to drive a 17.5 fast. That's the part that people miss. Drivers think that a slow car is just bang he throttle open and steer - that's slow. Most people jump into too fast a car too early, making up for their mistakes by capitalising on others mistakes. Slower cars crash less so winning is about the best driving.
The whole point of any club is to get as many drivers as possible. If the classes you run do that then you've won. This class isn't complex and it isn't expensive. It's just new and taking its time to settle. Anyone who got into Off-Road in the early '80s, or TC in the early '90s will know just how much change there was in the first few seasons until classes settled down. We hope that this is the way it will be for a while yet, and that will make it easy to understand.
