Hi Mark, it was only me not paying attention for a change, although Matt was probably right with the chinese whispers theory as I've heard some horrendous stories about the costs of running competitively in the series.
Doesn't compare with TOCA though, thats scary Matt!
A mate of mine is doing Clios next year, hope he's got really, really deep pockets!
The Tin Tops look good but a bit pricey if you don't fancy sharing a car but then again, no such thing as a free lunch.
Most of the series seem to run on these List 1a/1b tyres, I think I'll try to find some used ones and give them a bash on a trackday, Colin seems to go well on them so it's worth a try.
