Simon, are you introducing the "super licence for historic" notion here? We already have the power to weight ratio haven't we? Should we call for a qualification system based on a percentage of the best time achieved? Or ask a pro - also called Elite- to establish the best time of each car on the grid? Probably in the very short term we'll see two different kinds of racing, one for the pros and one for the rest of the world looking for pleasure only.
