In this multinational forum I have to say I am ashamed to see a U.S. flag next to comments that excuse and condone wishful thinking about the death of public figures. Check the thread again because...

I fundamentally disagree with the idea that the FIA should give out some limited number of spots based on politics. If there is really some epidemic of too many cars then engage in something called...

Yes, because what F1 needs is more bureaucracy and legalise to make it better. Who cares if a team started but failed? Did they take your money to do it or something?

Applause to whoever tried...

but don't you see, i'm not saying that more more engines and openness would not be better. I'm point out that the way people advocate to get that result is totally wrong, backwards, and debilitating...

I just think fans and even IRL leadership falsely equate having a manufacturer involved as somehow equaling or leading to these exciting idea of bring whatever you come with that meets these fixed...

I think most fans like the idea of you set fixed rules ahead of time and whoever complies with them can show up and race. MY question is if fans are really oblivious to the difference between that...

I would define the pinnacle of racing as those teams and drivers best in the world at getting from point A to point B using rules X. What rules X are doesn't matter much in terms of defining the...

Back from those original stories it was pointed out it did not cost the game developers of Stargate Worlds anything for this advertisement. the movie studio MGM owns the intellectual properties to...

I'm not arguing it doesn't exist. I'm complaining nobody tries to solve it. Or advocates things which make it worse.

Finance is a tremendous part of the Olympics or the Super Bowl as well. Do...

Fund raising is most definitely a real world skill. It is hardly something that you should build grandstands and TV coverage so fans can watch! Why would you ever consider this part of the actual...

Realistically though, don't you have it backwards? What I mean is, it is all well and good to have multiple competing chassis when the finances and economic situation are such that teams can pick...

I think we know and even agree what the differences are in the cars.

If we are talking about what might generate a better show, well then ill concede you want as much power as you can get no...

The argument against this point is that because the lights car is essentially a bad car that makes it a better trainer and test of driver skill to deal with the difficulty. Thus the Lights series is...

You say you are working on facts not assumptions, but none of the facts you posted related to what I asked there. So is it a fact that the Atlantic car can automatically make it through the esses...

Well you seem to be assuming the car can just do that automatically without any work. I doubt that is the case. That is not like an oval where you just add downforce in order to keep it flat...

The DP01 had certain mechanical limitations as you are required to use those parts. The team can setup the car however they want within the realm of that physics.

The IRL has required setup rules...

Well are you really asking me to spell out which series seem to manage the outcome and which don't? obviously NASCAR does and the IRL seems to have originally been modeled on that. F1 does too,...

You have just proposed a stable governing system for race teams to compete in and find out who is the fastest in the world.

here is the real problem with this idea:
people have no use for that...

I just don't see how if you have a SPEC or if you instead have every car on the grid totally custom designed- I don't see how there is any difference whatsoever between the racing product of the two...

I was not trying to claim this trend was "new" nor I am disputing which technical changes might result in better racing. The idea of managed, regulated or designed outcomes is the primary reason I...

Does anyone read that and actually believe the motivation of FOTA and the manufacturer teams is to make the series "more exciting for fans and shift attention back to the track"? Just wondering...

My point is that many seem to think certain technical changes or even manufacturer involvement solves this. That won't make a difference if the overarching philosophy of those making the rules...

So should race cars accelerate, brake, maybe even skid with different cars having different speeds and advantages on different parts of the racecourse and use different strategies and setups? The...

I don't know how you can read that any other way then to mean that Honda wants it to be more of a marketing exercise for whatever their company can show off. An event with zero restrictions would...

I'm all in favor of opening up what can be changed, tweaked or adjusted on a car based on the knowledge and talent of the race team to make it better. How does what car or equipment you were...
