The problem with this "random element" is that people (see the Patron story) start influencing the randomness. And Audi has been proving the wrongness of your first remark. They are pretty quick at testing but screw up during racing.

And I subscribe to your statement of motorsport being a minority sport where the lack of randomness is of higher value than the "entertainment" factor, because what you maybe referring at is not the way I want to be entertained by motorsport.
