I think it is important that nobody accept the 4-lap idea as a fait accompli.
Given time the pressure of the majority will overcome the one weak point in the recent raft of changes.
Of course some people may genuinely believe that 4 laps is ok and we have to respect their opinion,
however just reading and listening so far I think it was a major boo boo.
As far as the trophy is concerned this must never be changed.
From a philosophical viewpoint I am against the constant dumbing down of so much in human experience.
Instant food, news reduced to a few sentences, shorter GPs, short dresses and now shortening the TT.
Do people really want to sit in a covered stand where they can see the whole circuit and the race is over in an hour?
Of course everything old is not automatically good but conversely everything shorter and quicker can be much less satisfying.
A good question may be "Where the hell did they get the idea to shorten the TT from, when nobody wants it shortened?"
