How is this a 'tribute to heroic failures', as GP Rejects does? Why do we need to replicate another forum here? |

Well it would be nice to debate those who didn't do anything noteworthy in the series, how good they really were

And that's what I'm not seeing through these thread resurrections - it just seems like posts naming someone who didn't set the series' alight, with no real discussion or debate surrounding them.......

Between the mid 1970's to mid 1990's I feel that a lot of the drivers were there on merit.

And to be fair the last couple of seasons the standard of drivers has been high

With the exception of half a dozen drivers the field is made up of glorified club racers. There is quantity but not quality. If I may go back to 1985. If Sheene had been up against the big class field from 1984 he would have struggled. Win Percy showed what the MA61 Supra was capable of in '84 and it us a shame his increased TWR commitments prevented him returning. |

Any one-off/part-time local WTCC entrants and also Olivier Tielemans in DTM and WTCC.

You're making my head spin at the moment, and I'm struggling to see what point you are attempting to make...
Coronel and Thompson both made one-off BTCC appearances, but somehow don't make your list of 'any'? At the moment, it seems about as much use as making the statement: Who are the worst drivers in touring cars? - those who had rubbish results! |

The current series should not be compared with Supertouring, or Group A for that matter. Both were far superior in depth of drivers and machinery. |

I've been looking at this thread and wonder how people can define "worst" do you mean someone that has virtually crashed every time on the first lap ? or has never got into the points regardless of how many races they have entered ? A mediocre driver in the best car can get in the points the same as the best driver in a mediocre car can so I don't actually see how you can define "worst"
I suppose the only way you could possibly see an answer is by looking at someone who has had the very best/fastest and reliable car with unlimited finance and has done a full season/seasons Whereas some drivers who could be very good but have a limited budget and an unreliable/uncompetitive car don't have much chance unless others break down or get involved in crashes could be classed as worst ! |
