Am I missing the point?

Why am I'm paying a small fortune to watch a guy who passed his ARDS this year and has only done 4 races? And in 2 of those his times were SLOWER than in qualifying?

I don't blame him personally, if I got the call I'd gladly accept too, but surely this is a year too early. After all, it is racing we're paying to see.

I have no problem with amateur drivers being in the Revival. Neither do I have a problem with celeb drivers. Only that they're reasonably capable. Surely the point, after all, is to provide a spectacle? Not just provide millionaires with a day out. Theo has only been driving competitively for just a few months, and has been woefully slow.

He has quite openly stated that he started racing this year with the specific aim of getting into the Revival. Which gives the impression that it wasn't competing that drew him to Revival but the status of competing. Two very different things.

If slow but rich drivers is the entry qualification then the Revival is doomed!
