It's just an observation that there were sometimes as many GPs around that time as we have today. 1949 had 27 Grand Prix races for example.

I just thought it interesting amongst the opinion that 24 races 'dilutes the value of the GP'.
What were the 24 and what were they called?

And yes, a lot of those were “diluted”. This happened p as the entry lists varied. This time the dilution is due to fatigue.
