Quite. So lets remember that in the days of Graham Hill, you could turn up to Thruxton, towing your F1 car on a trailer for an F1 race televised on "GrandStand" the BBC saturday afternoon sports programme. And there were more entries than you could shake a stick at.

Today, the size and shape of the management coach is dictated by the regs so that they look smart all piled in the coach park, there's a minimum multi-million pound up front championship entry fee and no-one can run a car (there's go to be two) and there's a very limited number of cars on the track.

So, in a few years of karting-F1-dom, you would have to have a 40foot motorhome, a separate 40 garage vehicle, a team coach and put up a Ł million just to be allowed to take your annual ARKS test.
