I just did a HOD track day at Thunderhill on Friday. First I have done in a couple of years....for a variety of reasons....mostly catering to other interests.
All classes in the event were sold out, but yet this was the first track day I have done wherein not only was I the only E30M3....there were no E30s of any kind, no E36s, only one E46, and very few pre-2010 cars at all. LOTS of new Vettes, Porsches, Focus RSs, E92+ M3s, Audis....basically all newer cars. There was a guy in a '70s MG and a '70s Vette....but they were definitely the exception. I didn't even see many STIs and Mitsu EVOs....which certainly used to be track day staples.
I realize time marches on and all that, but has it really changed that much in the last couple of years....or did I just catch a weird event?
