"Modern" is NOT A LOOK, it usually represents something BETTER than that that came before but it has been over a decade since "modern" race cars of near ANY sort have fit that.
I would much rather see super mods. or front engine cars without the chicken-**** restrictors run, and continually try to get faster, than see another rear-engined go-kart series with all the spec. restrictions that make racing a boring farce.

So, Bob, what do you really think about this issue (just kidding!)?
But you hit it on the head: this is not a fashion show and when I say "modern" I mean cars that are obviously being designed to go faster today, rather than borrowing elements to duplicate past characteristics.
To use Indy as an example - I loved it when the Loti (Lotuses?) arrived and you had the classic handling and lightweight vs power and heavier weight. More than having favorite drivers, the cars also had variety to them as well.
