The problem is with some if not most of the professional drivers is their idea of racing conflicts with the basis of historic racing where most owners would prefer it if their car finished the races in the same state as they started it.
They are paid in most cases to drag the cars they are given to the highest position they can.

That’s undermines the basis of historic race driving but makes some decent bits for You Tube when they mess up a car.
And race organisers can stick in on web sites.

JO is not used to that type of racing nor some of the BSCC old men who enter Historic’s for one last go at being superstars in what is very much lower league sport.

It’s reaching the time when a form of control such as applied in US and Patrick Peter events should be introduced.
