I have not commented on this thread previously simply because if you want to accommodate as many drivers as possible at an event, 5 minute races are the only way to go unless events run until darkness desends (Club race meetings with less than 40-60 entrants excepted)..
A brilliant European event; the Belgian GP limits competitors to 90 (unlike UK Nationals which are 120) and still cant accommodate all the drivers who wish to take part because the format they run finishes well into the evening!. Although out of touch with the Belgian GP these days I am fairly certain that if you havent booked in on day one or two of entries opening you are still unlikely to get in!
So, as I am sure has been said previously Club numbers are such that they can run what race length they like. However if their drivers wish to progress to Regional/National/International standard they need to be good over 5 minutes.
Regards.
