Well, we've gone to take a look at the first real feeder series for our little ones that can finally rival the breeding grounds found in Spain and Italy. With seven BSB teams helping out, the plan is to create a clear route from novice to champion in a decade. it sounds a long time, but we’re talking about a process that will pump out a polished product by the time GSCE results come out. Even though we have a sea of Brits flooding the world scene the only thing certain in racing is, well, nothing.
