Hi, Depending on how work goes I was thinking about coming back into Pro's. However, as an example if the weight went to 175kgs there would be no point in me coming back. In simple terms it would be much easier to hit the Rotax weight and be competitive.
While this is not about me it gives you an example of how many folk who either like to many pies or are to tall (sadly Yorkie, Lardy and me fit both categories). You could end up loosing quality drivers (e.g. York, Lardy, Brewis, etc types).
In conclusion you need a window which covers all simply (e.g. all one weight)and encourages people to join what is nolonger a cheap class under its current setup compared to the other classes. The original key attraction was cheap competitive racing for new people entering the sport and they have a chance of a pot at the end of the day. Clubman and 180kgs seem to get back to that original ideal while also retaining the quality drivers.
