Sorry Fog, we're talking about American businessmen here. They do not understand the concept of history or heritage
As usual, I may have misspoken, or over simplified it by saying it was "Bernie", yep, he has a lot to do with it, "But", CVC, who were the previous rights holders, and blood sucking pirates (IMO), were also a Yank company. They took what they could, with Bernie as cheerleader for cover. And sold out when the going was good.
I remain, undaunted in my optimism, that LM, will eventually fix the myriad, of issues, that was left behind in their wake.
Will we like it all? Nope. Will they get everything right? Nope.
But I just can's see, when all teams are based in UK, and a couple in Europe. That we will lose the necessary "historic" races. That would be madness. And I don't think LM are mad. They are a business. That's it. And will take a while to get the right deals to secure the future of the sport. Rather than, the what CVC did. They are in it for the long-haul I believe.
Lets, not jump at every move they do, remember, when a lot of folks were blaming them for the halo? which had sweet feck all to do with them?
Like I say, Optimism
