+1 for Roger's remarks - so true. Posts that will follow from those who don't want to believe the truth of all forms of motor racing - talent always rises to the top.
I still cannot believe that people are blaming everyone else for this situation when it is their buying habits that are driving manufacturers to continue to offer more choice. I doubt that I would need the fingers on one hand to count the cars that are more than two years-old at any given National. If we all keep buying the latest thing, why are we surprised when manufacturers keep updating their product line?!!!
If no one buys these cars and only buys the rear-engined ones, they will disappear. If people acknowledge Roger's unarguable fact about racing, and don't follow the top ten drivers who have the talent to extract the best from anything, then these cars would not appear. The answer to this is everyone's hands, not the BRCA's or anyone else's.
But that's not the world we live in now, is it? People do not act collectively they only act in their own self interest. You reap what you sow.
Eyeayan's closing paragraph may be nearer the mark - it will affect very few people. In the meantime, I'll get my coat...
