While I wont go as far as saying that on any given day a team can win (like in the NFL), I do value the importance of the so called back markers. I can clearly remember how a few so call 'journalists and fans' were so critical of van der Steur racing and their baby blue with 'shower mat' flowers.....
As I was their team photographer for two years, I found myself having to bite my tongue as these so called 'professional writers' and photographers made negative comments about them....yet, when the team was in the lead at Laguna back in 06 and Ben Devlin was having a great battle with the Penskes, these same people were are all about them....
Ahem....venting there....anyway....I would much rather prefer a grid of 20 LMPs with a handfull of them just racing for the love of racing vs. 8 LMPs with all top teams and each one with a great shot of winning....call me silly, I like to see as many CARS as possible.
Stepping of soap box now.....and still stuck in Philly |
