So, hands up if you're going?
I've talked to a few good drivers and can't say I know anyone who will attend. I think it's a real shame but I wonder how much is safety and how much is a money saving thing though.
Maybe I'm alone in thinking this - but I think part of the problem is companies who don't really want to go are happy to declare it a non-event in their opinion. Maybe money is tight this year?
I'm sure
some people don't want to attend because of what they've heard - but the reason I don't think we'll go is nothing to do with security. We're in the camp of people who won't go because of the top drivers not attending - and I wonder how many of those drivers won't attend because of similar feelings/pressures from their team not to go.
With the Worlds going ahead for definite then companies can either attend and do battle for the titles - or slam the event as being a non-event and thus devalue the win, pretend it never happend if you will.
If brand 'X' attend and win both classes then they didn't REALLY win the Worlds did they - because Brands 'a' 'b' 'c'.. .Etc didn't send their best drivers.
If you ask me, a Worlds is a Worlds - no matter the reason you don't attend the winner is the winner. It's a shame we'll not attend but it's nothing to do with the track or venue - it's the lack of interest from companies that has put us off.
