The fundamentals of this is cost, a lot of people Average Joes if you like race to a budget. I use the example of Fulbeck Sprint Series IKR championship it costs £50 entry fee per weekend for a min 5-6 8min Saturday practice sessions and 3 heats and 1 final format on a Sunday , no leicence fee or other hidden costs and a grid of 12-22 peak last year were is the incentive to move up to a more costly series, i am no Lewis Hamilton and race for fun, if cost were to rise by moving up to do a full S1/S4 campaign then that element would take the fun away and i would lose interest quickly for that reason. right now I limit my budget to 1 set of tyres every other meeting and a new piston every 3 hours brake pads as required etc. racing on a budget with a big grid, just over an hour from home is a no brainer and at my current KZ experience levels i am not looking to move up, however in future should my budget allow it i will do some one off S4 events.
