I don't think our opinions of what sort of agreement wealthy amateurs have with teams and pro co-drivers makes any difference.
The series gets better every year, the pro-am element is arguably the main reason for it.
There would not be 20 odd top notch GT3 cars in the series otherwise. Plus the GT4 element has its own intrigue and drana.
In an ideal world I might like to think we could have a GT3 only British series with all pro line ups as well as the pro-ams and a separate GT4 series supporting it but that isn't going to happen.
Rather than knocking the amateurs we might be better off pushing the organisers to seek out more of them and then we would get a few more top pros and maybe a few more different makes.
