The issue is simple.
He was running the fuel used in WRX, that is different, and he seemed to say it was actually no better or worse than what is run in BRX.
One driver, who if you know much about BRX in recent years it would be obvious who, *****ed and moaned, walked down to the office before the semi with a clipboard and rules probably, and that was it. Bennett was done.
Yes Bennett was quick, but that car is far more developed to a much higher level than anything in the UK, he is at the top of his game after a few years driving against the best in the business, where he can compete for the top 15 at times. Competing against a bunch of rich, old men who drive for a hobby.
The bloke that won was young, on it and clearly faster than everyone else with the possible exception of Godfrey who has been clearly the best in Britain for about a decade consistently.
If Bennett wanted he could rightly throw back that this should have been picked up at scrutineering, he then risked probably 300 grands worth of car for nothing, and also committed to bringing another driver to race something he has done a few times, sadly that car went up big style.
He might changed his mind but the fact he stated he would never do BRX again is sad and should be taken fairly seriously.
