You will be surprised, but yes, they heard. And they didnt liked it (not all of them of course) and were fighting against it. Thats one of the reasons why this category was killed by FIA...
No. If I don't like something I don't own or cannot change, I walk, I don't accept it or whinge. You don't have a better, viable idea than this which would count for constructive criticism, that just...
