Racing would be better if there wasn't one way to do things being championed, be it by design or coincidence, by the rules. When cars have different strengths and weaknesses, you usually get better racing. When things get more spec or more inline with one way to do things, gaps might close, but you run into diminishing returns when everyone does basically the same thing.
That's why we had races like Audi vs Porsche in the ALMS late 2007, and Audi vs Porsche in 2015 at Spa and Silverstone. But with everyone now doing 8MJ gasoline hybrids, it's been Toyota (who've upped their game the past couple of seasons) basically curb stomping Porsche. Porsche have been able to minimize the damage with strategy, but on track, rarely has Porsche been able to match Toyota for speed so far this year.
Goes back to something that I don't like about modern racing, that almost all the good ideas have been thought up and implemented, or have been banned or just done to death.
