I think this is where sportscar racing is different. The greatest eras of the sport have always been driven by high manufacturer involvement and factory teams. If you think about the greatest eras of the sport, you always think about the cars first.
Great point, when I was younger in the 90's myself. I was into all forms of racing. But as I have gotten older now my interest in Indycar, nascar, and f1 has diminished, but sportscars my interest is as large as ever. This statement by Dyston Mazda is the reason for this.
