if we've all got the same setups then whats the point of grades as the whites would run away with it each week thus devaluing the need for grades or graded starts? so i disagree with giving them out.
i started last year with no setups other than the standard 3 supplied ( and agree with kendo in the fact that that with a few very minor adjustments they are'nt that far off the pace anyway ) and have had to practise and practise and work my way up the grades to the blue im at now.
most of you latest crop of drivers can actually put some very fast lap times in from what i see, but...and not meaning to cause any offence....cannot do them consistantly which is due to your personal driving skills imo, which will only get better with time and practise.
you'll feel a much better sense of achievement when your upgraded in the long run.
and to be fair why should the fast drivers share there setups that theyve probably put a lot of time and effort into making. put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself.....if you were winning major titles coz your setup was better than everyone elses, would you want to hand it out to everyone so they can then beat you in the future? especially if you had to start at the back with the superstars and the whites were going as quick as you i think your answer would be NO.
