I say again
It is the first small step.
If nothing else it gives us the opportunity to show those in Whitehall the true depth of feeling and enthusiasm for motor sport in this country. (Not to mention volume of potential voters)
If for no other reason everyone with the slightest concern for the future of motor sport should respond.

No personal connection to Feltham, Middlesex, Robert.
Nice place, I'm told............ particularly the Young Offenders Correctional Facility!
More seriously, I just wonder how many UK citizens actually follow "Motor Sport", generically?
Not F1 since it is no longer a sport, per se, but, as Sir Sterling stated, with clarity a few years back when interviewed on BBC radio by a young bubbly girly presenter, "Oh, it's not a sport, my dear; it is a business; and a very good business, too! Michael Schumacher earns more in one week than I did in my whole racing life!"
