Amateurs who compete in a full season will tend to be the likes of Krohn, Tucker, Goh, Van Merksteijn etc., those who can indulge their passion for motorsport, if the series appeals.

A class split into professionals and amateurs could also be made, where the professionals can points from 8 out of 8 races. Where as Amateurs for an example could maximum gain points from 5-6 races out of the race.
In that way the amateurs will save some expenses, but still being able to win a part of the championship.
