Motorsport purists need to get their heads around the fact that this sells. It's not "right" or "wrong" it just is...
Motorsport purity gets you 15 cars for the European Le Mans Series this weekend at Donington - it's going to rubbish because certain people won't compromise to the point at which whatever they want to do isn't commercially viable.
I work in sportscar racing and have a love for the history of the sport, but if I was paying with my own money I wouldn't go to an ELMS race I'd go to a stadium and watch Block or even drifting.
With regard to Gymkhana 5 - I still prefer the Montlhery one on the banking, but the sideways corner with all four wheels off the deck here is pretty impressive.
It's fun - don't get too hung up on whether it's worthy or not.
