Ironic that!
People only want to buy what wins, but then the V2 gets slated for being based of Jorn's car and not suitable for club drivers.
The honest truth is that although people always want the latest international winner history has shown time and time again that this is not always the best car for the club racer. But every attempt to build a true 'club car' has failed, or been forced to morph into the very thing is was designed not to be.
The original Bmax was a good example of this - nobody was interested until Neil Cragg started using it, and even then people only wanted the alloy laden FT version.
On the subject of Yokomo I sold my FT a few years back to get my first 210. The reason was that Bmax spares didn't exist in the UK - I was ordering direct from Japan. Today Yok's are easy to get parts for - situations change.
I do find the spares situation mostly just scaremongering. Panic buying and sales have depleted the current UK stock, but how many people actually have broken Durango's they can't fix? I doubt its many!
