winkle should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
It will be sad to see the demise of the DTM series, really incredible cars. As someone heading towards mid 50s I despair at seeming to be herded in a direction towards bland sterile motorsport. For me motorsport should be loud, fast and with cars that push boundaries.

Hybrid and particularly electric motorsport fills me with dread, lets face it who's really excited about formula E?

I know its manufacturer led and about appealing to the public will the goal of selling more cars, but for me, I don't see the point of paying my money to see a large version of scalextric on a circuit. Motorsport is about skill, noise and presence, if this direction of travel continues how long is it before there is no drag racing, thundersaloons or nascar because its no longer relevant?
