classic sports cars
The episode with the MGB's at Silverstone seems to have gone down as an unqualified success. It wasn't, necessarily. It thinned out an already thin grid and contributed to the end of the Classic Sports Car series and its replacement by what's now known as the Guards Trophy in which - some would say - a small number of FIA-compliant cars are continuously lapped by a group of faster and later sports racers. I'm not saying it wasn't right to do it - just that it was a bit more complicated than those who weren't involved seem to think. Maybe there is a lesson for the saloons there, maybe not.
