So, do we or don't we need a premier tin-top series with market relevance?
**Worth noting that the 57% upswing of Commodore sales is largely due to their impending extinction. New Falcon sales will soon be zero, and in 12 months time, the Commdore will be too.

None of the above equates to anything meaningful. It's been many, many, years since the carparks at any motor racing venue even remotely reflected the vehicles being raced.
People support a category/brand/marque/driver... whatever, but own/drive a vehicle which is the most practical for them (or that provided by their employer) !
