F1 with it's wonderful DRS and penalties for replacing this and that....'won't even bring up NASCAR (aside from all else, '"stages" and "playoffs"? Egads..."game time" eh?) that's been the leader in "showtime"....rather than real drivers, engineers, designers, fabricators and so-on's displays of superiority or inferiority, as the case may be.
