It has worn thin. The series has been going strong, but still seems need to work out judging issues. They cant keep rookies involved, and cant fill a 32 car slot.... ever. It is extremely entertaining to be honest but in my opinion the top 10 or so drivers have a budget and backing so un reachable by most people they arent going to be budging from those spots anytime soon, which is regrettable. I enjoy seeing rookies come up and try to throw weight around, but when it comes down to a chassis-spending-money-contest im not over interested anymore. Now, that being said its not all about chassis cost. Look at Cristaps for example; One of my favorite drivers banked on this insane budget car placing better and earning more in FD this year. Who ever backed the funding on that car is not happy hence why its for sale. But there is a line where you cannot keep up with speed, angle and maintenance. I Feel like you could really feel the struggle, this year especially.
