Useful info Russ on the basic rules for the Tamiya Mini's, I think that would certainly stop anyone trying to spend money on their cars.
I also like the very basic Mardave too. The cost of bodyshells is a good point Paul. Am I right that you can get different shaped shells for the Mardave? Are they now lexan or still that stiff white plastic of the good old days that need to be painted on the outside?
I'm also thinking that the Mardave are smaller so we could run a lot more in 1 heat
