The QMs are going much faster now then they were 7 years ago. Heck, they are going much faster then they were 2 to 3 years ago. The speed is getting ridiculous for young, and in some cases inexperienced drivers.
Kids are moving to faster classes much more quickly now then when we started QMs 5 years ago. It used to be that a driver had to master their current class before they moved to a faster one. That doesn't seem to be the case any longer.
