Too many M3 drivers are doing too well this year at too many events.

I don't know why a minority of people insist on calling these cars
dinosaurs. I guess maybe it's jealousy since the number of these dinosaurs
is larger than any other reasonably defined car type.

falling if the M3 stays in) is important, yes they will do something.
