^Agreed.

I used to think everyone understood that less grip and more horsepower was the formula for great racing.

Now that more and more series are running huge amounts of downforce and little power to make up, I have to wonder if that's an old fashioned view of racing?

I know the reasons the IRL and then Indycar kept backing off on the power (keeping the cars on the ground for the ovals, despite the fact their wonky high downforce package was the reason those cars went flying and stayed airborne more than any other racing car in history) but it seems with the current packless oval racing, those days are behind us, so it really is time to start inching forward on the horsepower stakes imo.
