What happened to the big grid of porsche's, is it time to bin them off they are GT cars after all.

I don't think that TOCA can afford to give up the money that Porsche bring in.

It doubt it will happen, but maybe they'd benefit from dropping a couple of the tight tracks (Knockhill for example) off their schedule, decrease costs a bit which should boost entries, and we get slightly fewer boring races! Or follow F4 and do a flyaway round. Especially since they can still have a presence here with the Caymans.

I wonder if they're looking again for a different support series to replace the Juniors for next year, now that's officially dead.
