Does this indicate people are apathetic about TCM?

It indicates that there are a lot of watchers, voyeurs if you will, butba very small proportion willing to contribute to the discussion directly

Same as it ever was..

Most are apprehensive about posting, for fear of getting caught up in someone else's folly, should their opinion not fall into line. But you're aware of that, mate

Didn’t see anything worth posting on tbh. Didn’t really see any justification for claiming a conspiracy & think that post #321 pretty much says it all.

No point adding more posts saying the same thing.

[Terry S]

So if people can’tbe Bothered posting their views there seems little point in having this thread.

Thus the tread may as well be deleted

Why delete the thread? There have already been over 300 posts about a bunch of things.

Just because people can't see the point in responding to a post you made, doesn't mean that everything should be shut down - that's just the way it goes sometimes.

[ForumNick]

IIRC a thread has VERY rarely been 'deleted'... just 'locked' ?

[Just Do It!]

TCM has an issue called parity and equality

[GTRMagic]

The thread is going nowhere, unless a lack of posting lets it slip to the bottom of the pile.

And you can post anything you like (within forum rules of course) and any point of view is as good as another, no correction or flying close to the wind to make a point required

Perhaps the lack of posting in the TCM thread reflects the current feelings of the category.

Has it perhaps gone a little stale. It's the same guys always winning the races afterall.

7+ pages of posts this year alone suggest it is far from stale and still a key category to discuss, with all respects.

Yeah no need at all for the thread to be deleted, thats just silly.

I really enjoy the series, always have done but it is getting monotonous watching Johnson and Bowe fight for the win with everyone else racing their own close race.
Bowe starts from the rear and still challenges for the win. That domination saps the enjoyment for me and I'm a fan of both of those drivers.

This is what happens when a couple of pro drivers come into an am category.Things are better now than in the period before Johnson came in.The only competition then in 90% of the races was guessing how much Bowe would win by.
I love the series but the domination is surely making some people decide not to cough up the big bucks required to build a new competitive car.

Agree on the pro/am situation - it's what always happens in reality. Hard to know how to deal with it and avoid appearing too contrived (a la AGT pit stop system). Don't know if they still do it but back in the day Carrera Cup had a seperate points and awards structure for Ams (may have been age based actually) that helped.

I'm not sure about those building new cars being turned off as many of them are in this category for the enjoyment of the types of cars as much as anything else - as long as they're driving around in front of decent crowds, scaring themselves a bit and enjoying the "old school" feel, they're probably still enjoying it.

The big shunts we've seen would probably be more of a potential turn off than the pro drivers I suspect.

Jim is making the trip north with his Falcon Sprint.
So that's the podium spots sorted!
Just need to work out the order on the day..........

On the right is the Leaderboard, which appears to be up to date

Then below that press "View all results"

See what you get.....

And?

[Umai Naa]

Suggests he may not compete this year.

[ForumNick]

Or.... he's got a new(er) one?

[Umai Naa]

Without Wilson/Payce money?

[one five five]

I'd say more likely he is just driving someone else's car.

The Torana wasn't his anyway wasn't it?

[BlueMax]

I thought the Torana was now owned by Wilson.
