Impressed by the posts on here but we have had the continuation,fake,replica threads before plus the cheating bit.Went on for months.
The point that has not been discussed before to any extent is the date things become ready for Historic Racing.This also includes the problems preparing cars built after mid 90's due to their complexity and electrical parts.
Should a line be drawn at about 20/25 years?
The bit about old cars and modern generation is not always correct as can be seen by success of VSCC and to a certain extent the Edwardian cars.99% of Pre War cars are driven by drivers born long after the cars raced in period and they are different from modern cars.
The value of cars in museums depends on what cars are being talked about.I am sure if the Collier collection were sold they would raise much more than they cost when entering the museum
If a car took a gang of 20 people to look after in period it will take the same number today unless someone comes up with the formula to simplify the design.
As very few people watch Historic Motor Racing should the spectator have a minority vote and the entrants who own the cars decide the way forward?
When will the organisers have less meetings and an across the board set of rules?
Can Festivals have one organiser rather than several layers all of whom need to make a margin or should certain festivals be a showcase for the major race organisers as happened in the past two years at Silverstone?A departure from the old days of Coys .Monaco,Le Mans Classic and Goodwood are controlled by one organisation and they are the most successful events on the calender.
This lot to keep this rolling along before it vanishes down a V8,B,Cortina,Tin Top Cul de Sac!
Idea is a broad discussion not bits and pieces.The broad brush approach rather than detail.
