That's not true for F1 as claimed IMO, but it's absolutely true for Supercars with these spec cars.

Is there a possibility to return to the days of the Larry bar, SBR with their custom bell-housing, non-adjustable v mechanical v hydraulic adjustable swaybars, and so on and so forth, and move away from the current "boltie" racing?

Larry Perkins discussion at TEGA: "There was talk of a control exhaust, but if a good workshop can't even make an exhaust, what have we come to?"
Gen 3: Exhausts are literally a control part...

While Group 3A rules were more restrictive than some of the engineering marvels in Super Touring, at least there were some engineering freedoms in Group 3A and Project Blueprint (and the carryover Blueprint front suspensions in COTF) unlike today.

Also: what was your favourite innovation of the Group 3A and Project Blueprint era?
