Just to reinforce my earlier post, my comment was in no way suggesting that the "Mirage" team is a bad one to be in, it is quite possibly the very opposite.

It is also not anything against the likes of Ben and Adam who work at Mirage and deal with the team, after all they are only doing as their boss (or their new boss) has asked them too.

My point is that for years the countries top drivers like Neil Cragg, Darren Bloomfield, Lee Martin and Ellis Stafford etc etc have all come up through the ranks and had always dreamed of one day becoming a "top" team driver with full factory support etc. Over the years it has always been the "elite" who get sponsored and you had to work hard and race well to get it. The new system from Mirage basically opens up sponsorship to the masses (for the reasons I believe that I have already put) and by sponsoring almost "anyone who applies" (so it seems) really puts down those who have had to "earn" their drives and get to where they are today through hard work, determination and of course good skills. Pherhaps this is not the case anymore...........
