Back in 1981 when the Oz collective wisdom of that time was that sailplanes could not successfully be handicapped, and some people went out and did it anyway (Peter Rigby, et al)
The fact that Oz conditions have a higher mean thermal strength than some European places (just as Carl Herod has different CH factors for different parts of the US)
is a justification (back then and also now) for having more realistic comparative factors to suit our prevalent conditions.
But this takes us away from the IGC list already.
So adding glider types that do sit within the Club Class range is then bad also?
