Agreed. A small-ish grid is OK if the racing is close. On the other hand, a larger grid split into charity classes is bad. For example, the Ginetta GT4 Supercup has a 20 car field this year, yet it is split into Pro (is there such a thing in single make racing?) and Am. This would be fine if there was an overall championship with an Am sub-class, but the series is split into two completely separate points classifications, despite the cars all being identical. The Carrera Cup takes this further by having a smaller field split into THREE "classes". Honestly, who is going to care about the outcome of such a competition? It is stupid beyond belief and shouldn't be allowed to happen. This is MOTOR racing, not life choices racing.
