Ten of the best results

[Nick]

I agree with Kris, they will probably have used more than that in fuel competing!

Nice to szee Mick Begley's name up there a few times.

[Spearmint]

As above, lame prizes really.

Does anyone no what you get for winning the D1?

[streetboy]

probably a pair of part worn nankang remoulds...........

[Checkpoint]

the prizes might not be the best but people do it because they want to be the best, they dont compete for the prizes, they compete to be known as THE BEST, imagine if this was all that premiership players were paid per game? there would be hell on, i think it just goes to show the absolute immense amount of pride these guys have even if in some events the prizes dont amount to the total tally of the entry fee

I know you guys are scalding the organisers in this part of the thread but i just thought id add that.

Expensive way to "be the best" when tomorrow someone beats your time by 1 tenth of a second then you are history and they are the best for free

You pay to be an entrant, to entertain the public, who pay to get in and you may win a voucher or more likely thousands of pounds worth of fooked car.......now lets think ..... who is the overall winner here ...Hmmmmmm
Pisses me off that I never thought of it.
I wouldnt be sat here talking to the likes of you

[sideways.taff]

Theres always Eleven Of The Best though Buster... go one better isnt it!

[Cardiff R33]

got to agree really, always said competitors should have free entry its a joke

[DaveV]

Don't competitors in all kinds of motorsport have to pay an entry fee usually though?

Is it because people see this event as a show rather than a competition?

At the Santapod RWYB days for example you pay to run the strip, people pay to watch you and there's no prizes at all.
Most drift events are the same with similarly rubbish prizes.

Usually, if you pay an entry fee it's because there's substantial prize money for the winners, think of horse racing, golf etc etc. Motorsport events are usually the same, with money, parts, oil etc for the winners.

Certainly in any other field the rewards would normally outweigh the investment , not in this case it seems

There are prizes for the fastest (non-pro) vehicle in it's class for RWYB at Santa Pod when they take place on the same day as a National Event such as Japshow. Admittedly though, these are also on the small side and you'll not get a sniff unless your packing some serious oomph.

Too right mate.

I suppose £50 vouchers could buy enough engine oil for the rebuild.


IF you won that is

Not £90 odd though.
