I know these are just your opinions, but suffice to say that most people in the know don't agree with you, or share your "taste."

Lastly, we are talking about modern day F1. It is the top level of auto racing, and LeMans is a mere fraction of what it used to be. So until Porsche decides to even attempt racing where it matters, nobody is going to take them seriously as a racing brand. They are a gentleman's toy, nothing more.



You missed the part about a tradition of craftsmanship and artistry that no other country (especially not the US or UK) could, or can, match.
