But why can't we appreciate that? What a great status quo to have!

Yeah, some of the new stuff would be nice, but Acura clearly don't value European events at the moment (is HPD/Acura North America funding that car?), the Lexus programme is borderline shambolic, Callaway are doing great things with their still new car and branching out to endurance racing in other series, Cadillac is an infuriating programme that GM will never let outside PWC and Porsche clearly don't see any value in GT3 victories.

I agree that the last one in particular is a pity and it would be great to see Manthey out with a car (fingers crossed for N24), but we still have so many works programmes, great drivers in every class and another potentially superb year ahead.
