on_to_it has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I thought my point was clear enough. Any drivers signing session I've ever attended (Indy Cars, V8 Supercars and local series) had drivers competing in an existing series meeting their fans, signing posters, talking about the racing etc. To me, drivers should first earn the respect of the fans by racing in the class they represent. You might call it Mana. Anything less is a rort! This proposed class has one prototype, hasn't run a race yet and might not yet. On top of that, the guys running this ship appear to have made a lot of fairly powerful enemies in a sport that isn't big enough in this country to have this sort of disharmony. And that's just wrong!
