If the organisers spent any time with the crowd, they would know that the biggest 'oohs' and 'aaahs ', applause and cheers often go to the bloke in his Mini who only came 6th , but who outbraked the same Mustang at the same spot on every lap.

I agree, one of the biggest appeals of historic Touring Car racing for me is the disparity of vehicles. Huge behemoths that storm in a straight line but corner like a cross-channel ferry competing with little tiddlers that don't has so much speed but ara amazingly agile through the corners.

As a one-time Mini Se7en racer that was my initial thought too Max until I thought a little more. Mini Se7en & Miglia racing is still going on and still providing that spectacle (as are numerous other one-make championships), Historic racing doesn't need this.
