I am an ARP competitor that is very new to the sport. I would like to express my opinion on what are mostly negative observations, however, please do not run me off the track if you disagree with me.

1) Calendar and venue. The calendar does not allow sufficient time to prep cars properly; 1 week is not enough time to prepare cars between meetings.
The venues chosen for this year are not varied enough. I am all for double header meetings, very exciting, however I would prefer to attend a meeting at Croft, Silverstone or Thruxton than return to the same circuit twice in a season. Why cant we have at least two races overseas per season? Could we consider modifications to allow us to run in equivalent championships?

2) Overall profile. All of the cars look stunning, especially A class. Surely these cars are worthy of more than playing second fiddle to Radicals or Caterhams. At Rockingham, outer paddock rather than inner or garage was insulting. ARP teams deserve more. The general meeting at Rockingham, what was the outcome, did it make difference?
When it comes to the timetable we seem to be one of the first to qualify only to be racing at the end of the day!
I would like to see more TV coverage; this would result in bigger entries leading to a more successful championship, (not to mention the increased sponsorship potential).
Ticket allocation this could be increased, to say 10 per entry.

I do not like playing the martyr but I cannot stand back and say nothing, I don�t think that my comments are likely to get me free membership to ARP next year either.
Please add any comments that you all may have and we may be able to persuade others that improvements and changes should be made.
