So why don't we have class where these sorts of ideas can battle it out?
In F1 the rules are stuck in the stone age to protect the status quo. Is that also the reason sportscar rules require such inefficient designs?
Let the designers do their thing! When the cars get too fast for safety, cut the fuel allocation back. Other than that, 'Go to it, boys!'
