I'll refer you back to Craner Curve's post earlier. We are defiantly not in the 'under 25' category.

So much motorsport these days is about BOP. GT3 and TCR formula are built on that principal. WEC and IMSA are largely the same. BTCC won't open use that term but the combination of spec components and boost adjustments means that's effectively what it is. If you saw any of the N24 this weekend they even had several BOP adjustments between sessions. The idea of slowing down the best car/driver is not that unusual.
