Not currently even a heat for them, nor a proposal (or time room in a national) to make one.

there is currently a 3 leg national (first one ever) at Ardent raceway on a summer series we are seeing numbers around 12-14 increasing every meeting, the last RCcircuitcars series seen 2 x heats, Teeside RC are seeing good numbers too, most indoor clubs who run indoors are allowing the '10's' in with the tourers to keep numbers up. i personally have raced nearly all RC formats and to be honest i love this, especially the simplicity, hopefully it will grow and grow, it is alot cheaper than touring, the cost of an 'up to date tourer' would buy a GT10, a shell, 2-3 complete sets of tyres (which wear really well and so much better than rubber) and at a push a servo to boot! so yep, cost, grip, speed always a winner, fingers crossed for more to make the change over
