yeah I can see where you're coming from Jimmy, I suppose if there's nothing of a similar level in some countries maybe it would be fair enough to allow a few international top boys in occasionally. Is the touring car scene for example so much bigger that it can draw that level of sponsor and manufacturer involvement? If so, maybe the idea could be tried for a year, see if the pros outweight the cons.
Only concern is that of you have such waiting lists already, then isn't the scene already booming? And the sponsors aren't giving that level of backing yet.
I suppose you dont know till you try, would just need to be wary that to keep people interested you need to keep them involved.
I'm prepared to cede a bit of ground if confronted by reasonable arguments
And yeah, your site's groovy. Without it, and the contacts we've made on here, me and my newbie mates might not be having as much fun as we are!
