stedevil has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

You just excluded 95% of todays modern cars that would fit the "real cars racing" idea.

Again, good idea, but doesn't suit the slot for "real cars racing".

3) Give the cars ridiculously little aero-parts, to reduce grip. If it was up to me, I'd ban all winged profiles and rather see spoilers like in pre-COT-NASCAR in touring car racing. I'd partially make up for it with some extra wide tires (and wheelarches!) however
Wider tires and less aero grip still wouldn't tackle the inherent problem of a FWD car chewing through the rubber. In a situation were the engine is not the limiting factor, a RWD will always be able to push it's rubber much harder since it divides the load more evenly across all 4 tires.
Or are you suggesting wider tires should be allowed for FWD cars relative RWD cars?
