Yep, here's the article I saw about the F1 engine change:

Ugh fixed configuration and forced use of hybrid greenthink. I take it back. And what's this 750 limit shit? In the 1.5t era the cars made 900 race day and 1500 in qual

Yeah...and Aryton Sena flogged the shit out of that beast of a Honda (or Lotus) one handed through the streets of Monaco. Back in the days when real MEN drove real CARS....and RACED....instead of riding around in a fucking parade.

I'm telling you...this obssession with technology...rather than RACING...is bullshit. Sure, the engineers are all creaming themselves ovah their latest technological marvel...but the RACING sucks balls.

Could go completely the other way and suck balls tho, as NASCAR proves every weekend. Same gearing, same basic chassis, shock and spring rules, aero template rules, engine rules, spec tire, spec fuel, 1960s technology and still no real excitement?

Nascar can get fixed in two moves. Ready? More road courses, homogolaton rules. Just like the old days. Run race prepped street cars.

Done

NASCAR would have to make considerably less money to ever do something that drastic. MotoGP would also have to do the same for them to change it.

I would be all over that. Get rid of alot of those almost identical 1.5 mile tri ovals, run Road America, Road Atlanta, Maybe Miller, Throw in a Mexican and Canadian round...

I seriously doubt that they could run street based cars as only the Charger/ Challenger, Mustang, Camaro have the beans. Toyota would be out in left field. All sports cars when they want sedans. Cadillac would have an entry with the CTSV tho..

In the end Trip is right. No way NASCAR will abandon those big ovals because of the markets and money they rake in and no one wants a 50 race schedule....

I watch about about 6-8 NASCAR races a year, Watkins Glen and Infineon, Richmond, Martinsville, and Bristol, Talledega and Daytona. With the all star race in Charlotte as a fave due to the format.
