Just look at the Le Mans 1989 entry list and tell me thats not as good as the F1 entry list in 1989? http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...989-06-11.html - Silk cut jaguars, Joest Porsches, Aston Martins, Nissan, Toyota, Sauber Mercedes and Mazda. All big factory/works teams with top line drivers.
During 1989 all F1 had was Mclaren Honda, Ferrari, Lotus, and Benetton with regards to big teams. Draw your own conclusions. Anyway, sorry everyone back to the topic! |
That's just what I was trying to say
Sportscar Racing was bigger back then and F1 less so. But it changed in the last 20 years and F1 IMHO is now unsurpassably big and will be for decades to come.
