RS67 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Ultimately does it matter what the exact criteria are for an Elite Sport/Athlete? We could argue the pros and cons for days; that won't change the fact that a judgement has been made and isn't going to change. Can we just except that and move on.
So Goodwood are the good guys for having done the exact same thing as MSV.
It still doesn't detract from your link to MSUK's statement that all motorsport in the UK which was starting behind closed doors on 4th July and at no point over the weekends since haven't stopped MSV from allowing spectators trackside, or from selling tickets for a sport that has suddenly recieved a classification that prevents it having spectators whilst other similar sports of a lower ranking can have spectators.
Perhaps MSUK should have stepped in earlier instead of allowing people and businesse to get their hopes up before pulling the rug from beneath their feet at the last minute.
