Ill echo what Roger is saying. It was a little hard to get anything positive heard over the doubting thomases at the meeting. For us the whole attraction of this series is the challenge of keeping a machine running over such a tight schedule. Its a tough format even for a little feather such as Bernard, but we firmly believe it is possible and are seriously tempted to build a heavy to address the challenge. It will simply load the odds towards endurance instead of out and out power IMHO. Please dont alter the proposed format, without the challenge of this tight full on combat schedule, our interest in the series is likely to wane.

We all have 6 months to address this problem by adjusting and modifying our machines, we all knew the format when we expressed our initial interest so why wimp out now?

We are in for a proper combat competition, a show/travelling circus is no fun in our eyes!!
