A race, any type of race, in my opinion is not pointless as it shows who is the superior on the day, this lark just shows who has the most BHP in their rear wheel drive car. Also with the green lobby breathing down our necks this 'sport' does nothing to applease the Greens. You could say 'so what' but if and when they eventually close us down it will be a different story.

A race is totally pointless in the overall scheme of things. Who cares who is faster? Only the people competing and the fans. This is the whole point. Whether it's cars going vroom or 11 men in shorts chasing after a small spherical object, any sport, no matter what it is or what the format is, is pointless. Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it though, since the point of it is enjoyment.
