@mikldude93763 жыл бұрын
Indeed SC racing is too clinical ( boring as batshit ) , there is no fun it anymore , I`d much rather be watching drivers battle to hold on to these oldies screaming around the track any day of the week , and when they have a mixture of cars from different classes that adds to drama and unpredictability of the race . Zero interest in SC racing .

No way they could be driving that fast if they had stock brakes and original tyres, even the same size tyre by st radials neve in a million years full stop, remove all the mod cons and then race the historic racing, sure upgrade the safety areas, but not brakes, roll cage ok, but everything else like it came from the factory, which includes all the cars which race in the historic racing ?
