Hi

The question is who nowadays is really making a difference between a "micro" and
a "computer" WC?

Of course you are right in your critic about equal conditions but because of
that calling the WBEC a world championship. No way!

(Who is really interested in a formula one with equal cars? If the people would
be interested (what I doubt) there would be not a single car manufactor in it.
The outcome would be no (or much less) money wich would result in less interest
by the people ...)

Bye Ingo
