Hickey should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I'd typed out a long post on rose tinted glasses then my phone crashed...

Essentially, things were good and bad back then. Money always won, driving standard were terrible, some races were epic, some were dull. Reliability was shocking. But cars were cooler, untamable beasts and sounded awesome.

Cars now seem to be on rails and are too quiet. Dirt on most tracks isn't good enough either.

But they are so reliable now and the racing is amazing. Quality right through field and even in the support classes.

I share your concern about whether the cost is sustainable chunder but each year more, and better, cars come to the grid. So there must be something there that sponsors like.

Lydden is the best track to view at due to sensation of speed. It's a big loss to lose that. Stadiums are great for crowds but ypu are too far away to appreciate speed.

Look forward to Mettet, great to have all classes. Love the diversity. Can't wait.
