All this is simply personal opinion which is entirely separate from any sense of historical objectivity -- which really is not an issue given that I never intend to write about this era. That is, not the racing. The politics and the off-track nonsense, however, is another deal entirely. However, given that my list of projects needing to get done is already way too long, somewhat doubtful that much of anything from this era will ever get done.
As an aside, I have always rather liked Lauda's approach to trophies and could never work up much indignation regarding Prost's tossing the trophy into the crowd, which seem to still be able to get panties in a wad in certain crowds.Popular memory is not history.... -- Gordon Wood
No Hybrid no EV. Racing and Rallying is there for excitement. Enjoyment for the spectators. EV or Hybrid does not belong in Racing and Rallying! EV sales are already very bad. Lots of People...
