Endurance racing makes no commercial sense at the moment but its growing because of our individualistic nature as you have already said, and I think thats a good summary of the difficulty in marshalling a Premier Racing Series, many of us don't like the autocratic , way MSNZ runs the national Championship, which also burns both competitors and sponsors alike.
At the moment the Endurance Series is free of Autocratic officials and thats also part of the attraction at least for me.
Despite the strength of grass roots racing at the moment, like 2K cup, BMW series, Honda, Ssangyong etc, most of these competitors lack the financial resources to go further than that, yes, most would like the chance but how many will ever get the opportunity? Sadly very few, which is why we only have had 3 in Kiwi drivers at most in TRS in the last few years. Very sad actually.
