Harry, yeah you wouldn't even if all of them dropped, it'll be like Spec Miata, just not as good as Spec Miata.
When you say it, it really looks bad doesn't it, everybody is leaving; Audi (big maistake), Porsche (understandable), Honda, (kind of saw it coming and with exclusion of BAR and such and not really competition) but AMA? they did great! or is it Kawasaki and Suzuki were dominating? Are they going to focus on SBK? MotoGP?
what I wonder is will they come back?
What in the world is Toyota worried about? Cheating again?
If you notice though, Audi wants to focus on thei R15, DTM Touring Car and the R8 LMS for cutomer use in GT3 for ELMS, the real competition, so it's a smack in the face really, and Speed needs to get their butt in gear with coverage in that case.
Yeah I agree, I don't think it will hurt though, becuase the enthusiasts already "know" about the car and it's racing pedigree, you know what I mean?
I agree with what VW Dave said, it isn't going to be the same because that was the main car, in the latest WRC but it's surprising that Subaru would do that, that was their hope, thanks Speed. Although somehow this doesn't surprise me because practically everybody dropped out and went road racing or F1 after they were cught cheating so their wasn't much left so all that'ss be left is Citroen and Europe Ford? I can't believe Suzuki dropped out also, I mean, they were kind of in the background for the most part but it still gave competition, I guess they'll focus on SBK and MotoGP.
As with Porsche, they wanted to focus on racing that was more at a competitive level for them and Grand Am is it, can not wait for that season to start.
