Teretonga was the biggest difference in favor of F3 and ruapuna qualifying (all races were wet) the 125 pole time was over a second faster than F3 pole. On this evidence the 125's have a case to be included in F3, allowing the 250's would be opening the class up for major domination.

I think so, the story I was told was that after Steve Ward won both 125 and F3 title in the same year there was some fairly unhappy people in F3 so they got removed.

Yeah but werent a couple of those 125s a bit faster than the average and I fully believe if the Gimp gets his act together and sorts that Tigcraft/Aprilia properly,It also will run away with the class.So whats the diff??

The difference is that was built to the rules that have been long standing for however many years they have been in for. I can see your point and somewhat agree with you. I just feel a little agrieved that I have built a decent and competitive bike to the old rules and now the goal posts may be moved somewhat. Anyone in my position would most likely have the same feelings. I have been giving moving up to 600's a bit of a thought lately and this may just make the decision easier.

You could destroy f3 on a 450 by making it lighter with good wheels etc and just go nuts on the motor as there aint to many rules that stop you the engines pretty mild compared to what you can do, only limited by money really just go hard on one they could be so fast

Yeah sure would love to, but as you alluded to only limited by money. Having spent the best part of $25k already where do you draw the line. I love the sport but there is a point where it just becomes rediculous and I may have already passed that!

Your my pick to take the F3 title this year. Weather you ride the tigcraft or decide to save time and money and get a GP bike.
For 50k you should be able to have a backup bike!
