And yet most Supercar supporters speak with pride when they say that Supercars and modern motor racing has little in common with road cars because they are boring to watch

Where did LDM get their crew, other teams so on the logic of LDM were the first new team is wrong as they had crew from other teams.
On that logic nearly every team on the grid was new in 1985 and 1993....

The same team changing cars does not make them a new team
