Looking at the damage on some of cars seems to me there was a lot of actual racing!
With 60 odd cars in most grids you will get thirty real racers , twenty careful drivers and the rest going round in circles slowly . That’s as a rule of thumb
Seems to me that if you want to see actual racing LMC or Silverstone Classic
At LMC suggest the maximum number of jogging drivers are in G1 and Group C.
Leave the actual racers alone rather than run a contrived event . Some events are now following this formula
Spa 6 hours with about 14 new GT40’s is another solution to providing great racing
Not doing it for Spa crowds because there is next to nobody there dispite it being one of top five Historic Race Events
Don’t hold your breath but it seems people like doing concours and ponce about talking rubbish in the middle of baby show.
