The end result of dumbing down the field (the other name for "level playing field") is universal mediocrity. Why not let everyone race to the best of his ability - and even to the limit of his funding? Merit always rises to the top.

I totally agree with Liz. I will never understand the concept(that certain racing series use) of adding more weight to a drivers car everytime he wins. Basically this their being punished for being the best, which is ludicrous. If someone is good enough to be the best, then he deserves to be there. If other drivers/teams can't keep up, then that's their problem.
