Stupid Question, but have to ask

[Mark Wildey]

Why is Class 3 racing on this forum called 3C rather than C3, i.e. Class 3.

I mean strictly speaking, 3C, should turn into "3rd Class" racing, which doesn't sound too good!

Cheers

3 C refers to Class III, subcategory 'C'

there used to be 'A' 'B' 'C' 'D' and 'S' which were 1 litre, 1.3 litre, 2 litre, 4 litre and 6 litre

I think there was a 3 litre class at some point, at least in europe

Adam will be able to give better details than me.

Hope this helps

Thanks, all understood and filed away.

Just to confuse things a bit, OCR (Ofshore Circuit Racing) also uses (or did) 'A', 'B' and 'C' race numbering, but for different capacities, 'A' was 2 litre,'B' was 1.8 litre and 'C' was 1.3 litre

they only did it to trick us fikkos tho'

It's down to the UIM as well - the rest of the world call it 3C as opposed to C3 or Class 3.
