Ignoring all that and assuming we could get it eligible to run, what would happen if by some miracle we got it competitive and started to threaten the Ferraris and the Moslers? How long before someone else would cry foul?
Crash.net Radio:
You must feel like you’ve been put in a position where you feel that you can’t win no matter what you do.
Simon Scuffham:
It’s like I said to you at the start of the season. You don’t enter a championship to go racing without the realistic possibility that you could win. You don’t do it to make up the back-markers. This is a high profile GT series and I’m not arrogant to think we were going to go out there and wipe the floor with people, especially as we are new to the championship. However I didn’t go out there to make up the numbers and see how we got on. We put together a package we considered would be competitive in that field.
Crash.net Radio:
Have you got much support in the paddock to be reinstated into the GTC class?
Simon Scuffham:
I’ve only talked to a few people as, to be honest, I don’t know many people in the paddock to have that conversation. We have had very good support from the guys at Hawthorns who, to put it bluntly, have said that ‘anything we can do to help, please let us know’, and have had a couple of other teams who have told us that it is ridiculous and that they had nothing to do with it. We’ve even had one of the GT2 teams who have told us that they think it is unreal and that they don’t agree with it, but we have only done one meeting and it’s a crowd I don’t know, so I’m not sure what to expect.
Crash.net Radio:
Thanks for speaking to us and hopefully this is an issue that you can resolve sooner rather than later.
Simon Scuffham:
I hope that’s the case, I really do.
