It's not a new argument. For over 40 years, Autosport has regularly raised concerns about the amount of club motorsport in the UK.
There are too many poorly supported race meetings; too many events spreading competitors, marshals, officials and spectators too thinly and diluting the limited pool of people interested in grassroots motorsport. And this in turn can lead to a further downward spiral.
