In my opinion (not that my opinion will be listened too )

RSOC Concours should be available for all to enjoy and the classes should be encouraging as many to participate but it constantly seems to achieve detering members from showing and the only result will be a dwindling entry list

Maybe things will finally change for the better when the Concours field is empty !

RS stands for Rallye Sport (Fords Motorsport Division) and how the RSOC expects "modified" RS's to be driven to an RSOC show with 5.1 diffs and solid suspension etc etc etc is beyond belief - do Concours organisers not realise what a race car is like to drive when not competing in a rally / track / sprint event etc ?

Also a lot of race parts are "lifed" and is it realy neccasary to wear them out on road miles when such parts are more cost effective when being used in a competitive environment

I know classes have changed but !

Working Class - Must be driven

Intermediate - Owner decides if driven or trailered BUT 15/100 points deducted if trailered

Modified - Owner decides if driven or trailered

Standard - Owner decides if driven or trailered

Expert - Owner decides if driven or trailered

Some excellent points raised there. My argument for trailering up there was that my car is not built for motorway driving but as a A/B road car. The Motorway just kills it. The Engine is NOT happy labouring down the Motorway with it missing, spitting at anything under half throttle which I was told won't be good for it by the man who built it. The Gearbox will make me deaf on the Motorway (as Robbo will confirm) and as for MPG then, forget it

Novice - Driven
Intermediate - Driven
Modified - Either
Standard - Either
Expert - Either.

Agree with both the comments above. Let the competitors decide if they want to drive or trailer their cars in the later classes. As there are a lot more points to be scored and more intense judging then using a trailer could have a 10 or 15 point penalty but there are plenty of points to be gained for other areas of the car.
