That is very true I tend to forget that it's all about selling air time and not made for altruistic reasons. The owner of an original lightweight I thought was very honest with his comment on racing against a new one saying of course you would back off as yours is worth 5 x the cost.
At the end of the program I did think there could be an opportunity for this pool of talent to create and/or produce another racer as clearly the market is there.
I have never encountered first hand any elitism in the car world although I'm not a club man so maybe have avoided it.
