REALIST has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

6) The manufacturers will have something road relevant

the only downside is the cost, but the current engines really are not relevant to mainstream automotive, and this has been the way for about 20 years unfortunatley......despite the late change I really do believe this is for the better
What is there about F1 that is truly relevant to mainstream automotive?
