I tend to agree Gavin. Sometimes we look back on history through rose-tinted glasses. F5000 often produced drawn out races where the chronic unreliability of the cars was often the only uncertainty to the final results. But because the cars were so charismatic, they were often forgiven for many of their downfalls. But seeing an F5000 man-handled at 10/10ths by the likes of Kevin Bartlett or Graham McRea was something special.
