all i can says i've seen more of the m1 this year than the m25! which is strange considering i live right next to it!
But back to the subject, i think it would be great for both to be top class national series where the best of the best are able to attend. I'm sure compromise can be found somewhere but with the amount of one off events popping up (which are very important) it may come down to 8th dropping rounds to make it possible and even then it could be a squeeze.
Just my 2p worth
Regarding EPR, i think its such a shame for it to be dropped because its such an amazing venue which deserves the recognition of a national. i understand the nationals need to shared around, but i think a better north south balance would be nice.
