I did say 'one' of the worst years in terms of grid turnout... I know its not THE worst. Still if we had gone the WTCC route instead of BTC, I don't think we would be in such a weak situation with numbers now.
Which goes to prove my point in terms of the second issue. We're talking here of the entire series being in trouble if a 3-car works team decides not to play. If the Ford, Holden or Mercedes WORKS teams packed up in their respective championships, it wouldn't make a great short term difference as there are such huge numbers of privateers. The privateer element of the BTCC lacks depth, and has done really since the Sierra Cosworth or even Capri days in the 80s and 70s.
