However, that doesn't mean designers, drivers and teams can't still try to be the best, within the confines they are participating in.

IndyCar aside, what about the development costs for these formulas for keeping the cost down? How hard do they have to try to develop in series when you're only going to be BoP'ed if you become "unequally faster"?
And about IndyCar, what designers? There is no designing (and the innovation that comes with it) when you must run what's handed to you.
Like good movies and shows, why not just just script it and have the teams play the parts correctly. 'Could have the whole field duking it out right to the wire. How exciting.
'May as well go watch some Rocky movies (or the like).
That way at least you know you're not being had, you know it's fake from the git-go.

You're right. Now there's all of a whopping
