flatlandsman should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
You may feel that way, I do not, it is a fairly simple difference of opinion. It is not always amateur drivers who make mistakes, but they do seem to make daft ones.

And you miss the main issue which is that modern GT3 cars are inherently very difficult on most UK tracks other than Silverstone, even there in bad weather they are. They are too big, too wide and that makes passing almost impossible, making these guys make more mistakes. You might enjoy that, I find it a bit like watching truck racing at times sorry, the cars are great yes, but they look a bit daft sometimes on some, not all UK tracks.

I am not saying I do not watch it, why is that always the first response from people when you post some negative opinions on something, this is meant to be constructive, saying "watch something else" is not really that helpful.

My personal opinion is that GT3 needs to be dumped and make the entire series GT4, it has worked wonders in France where they have huge grids, those cars would work far better on our tracks are not as fast, less tricky to drive.

You will still get the same number of errors, because rich guys egos etc. But perhaps it might also encourage more youth teams, as that seems popular in UK GT4 racing, and that is surely a better way to push the series in my view.
