First of all, I would like to thank all members who have provided feedback to this decision. This was not a fun and easy call to make and everyone remained polite and diplomatic. We understand members' reactions whether you are for or against that decision.
After giving it more thoughts and after taking members' feedback into account, we did not realize the impact this decision had on some members/teams. We should not have penalized all drivers under 18 because of recent events only. The decision was taken based on facts and numbers and we were looking only at this and not a larger scope.
After a long meeting with the management team, we have come to a compromise that we hope will please everyone. The first decision is to remove any midseason rule changes for 2021/S4 because drivers who are currently competing did not agree upon registration. However, drivers that were suspended based on a stewards decision will be unchanged.
Starting in 2022/S1, we will implement new rules for drivers under 16 years of age. We will post it in the near future and make a board announcement again.
We will also add more details in the Penalty Matrix regarding the upcoming changes.
Again, we appreciate the feedback from our loyal membership and look forward to racing with you in the future.
See you around the track! (not me though because I have diapers to change!)
