Agree with Mark. If someone was precious about an "interloper" winning in front of a big crowd - which I do understand and accept, then I'm sure that if Mark's intention was to blow the cobwebs out and set a track record (though the track has changed!), then start 20 or 30 seconds later from the Pit Lane.
We have often allowed "interlopers" to run with us such as once a year Targa cars where they run with full harness belts but have to do two events year to keep the seat belt authority card. It's no big deal. It is about doing what is best for the sport.
Having a pop at Mark was uncalled for.
