And how much was Porsche's public comments on the rules kissing up to the ACO/patting the ACO on the back and trying to paint things in positive light for them?
There were reports the same day the rules came out about Porsche being cynical about the new rules, but it seems that few believed them until Porsche did announce their pull out. When Audi left, we had to know that Porsche or Toyota would be next. In reality, when Nissan left and no one else was coming in to replace them, we should've guessed that things could be in big trouble should one of the big three leave.
And why so much negativity? Because us arm chair enthusiasts seem to have a better check on the pulse of things than the sanctioning bodies do. Fans are often resistant to change, so often are sanctioning bodies. But it's sometimes necessary. And the ACO wouldn't be in the position of trying to reinvent the wheel if they didn't try reinventing the wheel before and have it ultimately fall apart.
