YES! VERY GOOD! I had some round-in-circle discussions about this on the F1 boards here... all the kids want more overtaking. The only way you get more overtaking in racing, is gimmicks.

After all, if you give the starting spots based on speed in qualifying, and then everybody runs at nearly qualifying speed and doesn't break, everybody just finishes in the same order they started, with gaps between them representing their speed differences.

but its not like the drivers are robots, except Kenseth ;) Human error happens and the cars will change the caracteristics from the track, wind, heat, sun/shade, and tires.

if you want to pretend you are in that world where everything is perfect, play Nascar 07 ;)

"He's a robot!" "A winning robot!"

By nature, stock car racing is much closer then formula racing, and produces close wheel-to-wheel racing at many tracks, with no gimmicks needed.

Some posters on the F1 boards seemed to think that every F1 race should be packed full of either NASCAR type action, or should always resemble the once-in-a-lifetime highlights from G. Villienue & J. Clark.
