No no, there's plenty. I cant quote every relevant post on this board otherwise I'd get into trouble from Adam.

First and foremost, there has to be some authenticity in the cars. Not only does supercars not have that, they're not interest in it. I refer to Sean Seamer's interview on SEN1116 during the week (I may link the interview later)
If then gets a bit blurry and that needs greater clarification. But it's too fatiguing to write and read atm.

It's got nothing to do with the authenticity of the cars or racing. That's more to do with how "business people" run their "business".
