So I can understand the inclusion of these modern cars.
But there is a difference in how little cars have evolved between the 90s & current days compared to the 60s and 80s, so on that basis I'm not interested in these recent cars myself.
I'm also not entirely convinced that situations like the original team running one of their older cars is actually historic racing but that is probably another issue.
You've turned into an old fart trapped in your specific generational slot…it happens too us all. Cars up to about 1985 is my cut off point...
