I appreciate you backing up the declaration with some reasoning.

Huge fan base and being liked by drivers are valid reasons for keeping it, and make much more sense to me that just 'because it's been around for a while'.

If we just keep a track because it has a historical place, then that gives circuit owners a free reign to not bother investing in track facilities because, guess what, they'll always have a place on the calendar anyway.
