Stealth & Marcos
Would the Stealth team and the Marcos team be better off running just the one car in the British GT rather than 2?
The Stealth has proved to be very quick but not reliable and at Donington the fielded 2 cars. if the resources where put into 1 car instead of 2 surely this would make it more competitive? The same goes for the Marcos team. they are GT cars but both cars are struggling to keep up with Shorty in the TVR and Lockie in the Ferrari and they are GTO's! if the finances where put into 1 car surely they would stand a better chance of keeping up with the front runners (maybe not the Saleens because it seems like nothing can keep up with them!) |

Maybe they run two cars apiece because that means more money from more paying drivers, also, twice the car to sponsor.
Also the Marcos has been around for awhile so maybe spares and experienced mechanics aren't in short supply. Maybe they were given discretionary free entries to boost the numbers! But yes, running one car properly might be a good place to start! |
