I repeat the assertion I've made many times on this forum: motor racing is for the driver/entrant not the spectator. The fact that some people enjoy watching it is by the bye; until said spectators pay for me to drive what they want to see, I will drive what I want to drive, it's my money I'm spending.
This is a commercial championship, if not enough people want to drive a GT40 against other GT40s it will fail. But if people want to race this series, why should they stop because someone's who has no investment in the racing doesn't enjoy it? As I said before: it's their money.

Having spent many thousands on watching the sport in UK and abroad, having helped organise events and marshalled at them , having written race reports , interviewed drivers from club level to world champion and even written a bloody book about motorsport I resent being dismissed as some sort of second class citizen. Of course people can race what they want - best of luck to them all - but please forgive me for, y'know , daring to express an opinion after having watched (etc) the sport for over 50 years...
