Hi

Been watching this with real interest as cost is important as well as enjoyment in racing.

From what I have seen it's started as a result of newer T2 engines having a performance difference 'out of the box'.

If this is the case - i.e. that new T2 engines are generally speaking 'big' without any modifications other than the allowable mods under the current regulations, I cannot understand why anyone would want to modify them to make them less powerful?

Motorsport is always evolving.

On the presumption that 'standard T2' engines are bigger than current SP engines (and as I see it this is only a presumption at the moment until Kelvin and his colleagues do their larger batch tests), why not allow an easy modification to the current T1 engine to bring it up to the new T2 spec?

This keeps everyone happy at low cost?

They can alter their existing engine whether it be a standard T1 or SP T1 to match to newer engine by applying this allowable mod.

It means people don't have to 're-invest' or race in classes they might not want to race in.

I am positive that there are easy, (relatively) inexpensive mods that can be done to a T1 to increase it's power to match a standard 'out of the box' T2 that are already know and can be regulated very easily.

This doesn't stop the idea of an 'SP' T2 being developed, but people could then decide whether to invest in that as that part of the landscape unfolded over 2012.

You can't stop people wanting to go faster and if they have the money they will always find a way to do it.

It seems to me that this is a way of people keeping what they have invested in, allowing the development of the new T2 engine into the sport, but letting everyone enjoy it at a relatively low entry cost if they wanted to stay as they were but remain broadly competitive.
