the thing is, everyone loves a scandal. whilst not likeley a nice time for Kostecki or Erebus to be in the public eye like this, it certainly catches peoples attention.
My interest in the series has declined in the post Holden era, but this has caught my attention and there are probably others in a similar situation.
Rather than refuting things, its probably actually in the series best interest to turn into the skid and run with it. Similar shenanigans happen in football all the time and they are no worse off for it.
yeah its all a bit tabloid, but its a hell of a lot more interesting to the general public than the minuate of aero changes and engine balancing.
Drive to survive showed that beyond the racing, there is a general public interest for these types of stories in a series ( yeah i know, I roll my eyes at how manufactured it is as well - but it sells) and they shouldnt be whitewashed for the fear of somehow bringing the sport into disrepute...
