It's that long ago I don't remember voting for the spirit award...

Would it be better to return the broken cars to their owners for repairs and put the proxy on hold for a few weeks?

The damage looks repairable, not a quick fix in some cases and if some of those entrants are from outside the UK I'm sure some kind soul on the mainland would be willing to do suitable repairs...or send to me with my damaged Jag

...that is if those affected would rather continue so the awards can be given on merit

The Allard Groundhogs car was voted for the Spirit of the Award almost unanimously by the previous 8 hosts (7-1).

2 cars are effectively write offs ( ALS Alfa Romeo GTA) and (Brumos De Tomaso) as there were crushed and the Pillar struts holding the roofs broken. So they would need rebuilding with new bodies, even if the entrants wanted to continue.

Also allowing all the entrants to rebuild their cars will of course change the performance of them, and you end up with effectively a new race.
