Nonsense again:
"On your arguememt seems there are no benefit to individual trainer and owner colours either for your saying no one can recognise/remember those either"
You conveniently forget that we are not talking about regular diehards. OF COURSE REGULARS RECOGNIZE THEM (even driving styles - remember your point). You brought up that we are doing it for occasional punters that we want coming back
No, I won't believe you for at present I believe that you see this thread as a debate for winning and I think you believe in winning at all costs
Twice you have used the wording:
"for most watchers, punters and participants they served to de identify the horses and particularly the drivers."
I assume then that you have a document stating this
“As a promoter I can do WAY more for each driver as a brand if they had their own set of silks and identity. Drivers are the best promoters we have and you can build a better reputation for the sport if they are used more widely..”
I still think that the benefit is potentially WAY more for each driver but I am not really convinced. I am not sure I agree that drivers are the best promoters of the sport - we don't get much out of them and rarely anything of interest (very few are media savvy). As I said before - if one shows themself to be a natural we will use them until the cows come home (and if we manage to get a public profile for him/her - give him/her GOLD colours)
We will put Shane down for pro - I reckon it will also earn him points with his rockstar wife
You still have provided ZERO proof of Driver's colours helping any country/industry or even proof that this is what has contributed to any driver's profile being lifted
You are the one advocating change - it is you that has to provide proof - it is not for me/others to prove it will not work
Of course trainers colours are not always a guide and I don't really care that much otherwise I would not support a trial of drivers colours if those that count wish it (saying that for the 3rd time now)
And so you got your finishing line
"So what you really want is a change for your sake to all in trainers colours?"
from your book of nonsense? Or did you think "Ah, this will be a clever little finish"
ps Whether recognize and remember are the same thing I am still happy to be the bookmaker :)
