Parting of the Ways?
With a very healthy 30 starters in the LMP classes at the weekend and the success of the production engined Lola Aston the Sportscar section of the sport as we know it looks very healthy and dynamic. Audi, Peugeot, Porsche and Accura are seeing the value in marketing terms so it becomes a big market for the small race car manufacturers, a success story
GT Racing on the other hand is only healthy in GT2, 3 and now 4
Are we reaching a position where Sportscar racing will be ACO based with series only catering for LMP's and the LM 24 featuring the same whilst the Ratel FIA series runs with it's own big 24 hour event at Spa as a totally separate series on a world stage
Is it too difficult to televise a 4 class series with equal coverage to all classes and even to provide sufficient information to spectators at the track with 4 winners posible in a race? Are we coming to a parting of the ways for Sportscar and GT racing?
