In the end you will fill 3 pages with quotes and counter-quotes, and after that a mod will come and tell you to shut up.
This is my favourite quote of the year...
As for encouragement, I don't recall seeing anyone being told "you should drive in this division, please sign up for a different one". Does it happen via PM?
Yes, as Jason says it happens via PM. That allows drivers to be very candid. Jonny O moved series in the 65's (thanks Jonny!) this season.
Nobody has complained to me privately about the speed of the leaders in the Privateers and there is so much to do at the start of the season that rating the drivers is really difficult. We will 'encourage' the faster drivers to consider moving up but I don't much like the idea of 'forcing people' to move up. If there was a total disparity we do ask people to move and sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. We normally let it ride for one season and then take a tougher line but it gets hard when people are unknown and you never know who is going to turn up. It is a balancing act and I know that we get it wrong sometimes.
