I've been involved in British Motorsprt for about 45 years now and it's obvious the further up the ladder the event status, the more "political" it becomes Mainly due to the amount of money invoved. It is however still possible to get a simple One day Club event where the guys racing are pure amateurs in self prepared cars, racing for the fun of it. Guess where I prefer to spend my time now .
At the Hawthorns.
