Rumours are circulating that Bernie Ecclestone is planning a 'Historic Formula One Championship' as a support race to the F1 weekend. See the Wall Street journal no less

Ex F1 drivers of 40 plus would compete in the series. Martin Brundle and Gerhard Berger have expressed an interest. Irvine has said no (horrah) and Damon Hill is tentative thinking about the safety aspect.
Is this something we want to see? I'm sure it would be initally exciting to see some old faces in modern cars but I'm sure they tried this before back in 2005 and it all got a bit depressing when former greats were too fat to fit in cars or too unfit to get through the race.
Is this something people want to see?
