AMG were never in, they were paid a lot of money to do work in a series they didn't care about and didn't really understand.

I am blaming the Kelly's - you raised the point of "how Nissan have done"

You can't view this in isolation. The relevant teams have each had their part to play in their lack of success. Equality in the rules doesn't mean everybody gets a pat on the head and a participation trophy - teams have to engineer themselves to the top and have the best of everything. I'd make a strong point that the Kelly's have never looked like this since they left WP.

Volvo were proof positive it could be done with the current rules - they made Erebus and Nissan look poor by comparison. But they are off.
