Multiple cars sitting idle in sheds or being handed back to the "actual" owners/entrepeneurs because they cannot manage to produce a single race meeting does not resemble genuine car "racing".
Nothing genuine about categories which are designed to be closely matched in times with so many controlled components and stifled development and nobbling the quicker cars in the name of ‘parity’, it would be a major failure if the times weren’t that close, it is manufactured to be so.

Fabricated racing certainly, close racing definitely, genuine racing absolutely not.

TCR falls into the same barrel top of course
