@carsismeZ06 youre right but considering how safe the new cars are going to be, i wouldnt mind if they made them faster by giving them more power.

[carsismeZ06]

@cardude1992 TBH, I don't care how much horspower they make, as long as it's between 600-700 and the racing is good.

[cardude1992]

i wish these cars made more power. 650 hp is no where near f1 and these have bigger engines too.

Over half of the races on the IZOD scedule were road or streets courses.

My point is this. Variety in motorsports is what makes it great for all of us fans. Pointing out the shortcomings of Indycar is a easy way to miss seeing all the positive aspects. If I prefer close side by side racing with multiple passes, that doesn't mean it's a more superior form of racing, and vice versa. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and check out the Word Championships of Lawn Mower racing. It puts those pussies in MotoGP to shame!

I think two level headed people like you and I can admit this. Throw an accomplished F1 driver into a Top Fuel rail and see if he can make it a 1000 FT to the top end at 325 mph in under 4 seconds without crashing and burning. The same goes for putting a top NHRA driver into a Mclaren F1 and expect him to post a time less than 10:00 around Monza. Let's put both of them in a 250cc SuperCross field and see which one ends in the hospital first!

I can usually control myself on these comment boards, but sometimes I feel I have to react and defend my favorite motorsports. When some F1 fanboy calls IndyCar a joke, I take offense. And open wheel racing is not even my favorite motorsport! As a huge NHRA fan, I've even had to post a few replies back to the F1 fans reminding them that drag racing and open wheel road racing aren't even comparable.

@TheMoezilla that depends what your definition of what an enjoyable race is and what makes a race good. I think 2010 was possibly the best season of racing Ive seen in f1 for many, many years, 4 possible championship leaders who could win it in abu dhabi, it was pretty special. This year started really well, the first half the season was good but its slowly tailed off and got more predictable as the tires become more standard and Vettels dominance killed off the chasing pack.

@tangodale Isn't the point of motorsports to showcase the best combination of car AND driver? The best racers know that passing is just as important as mastery of the track. F1 isn't racing anymore! It's an arms race. Yes, the machines are amazing. Ridiculously fast times around very difficult courses. But the racing is, to say the very least, boring.

@tangodale

If "overtaking" wasn't important in motorsports, then what's the point in running races in the first place? F1 is the only motorsport in the world where millions of fans pay billions of dollars to watch their favorite drivers play "follow the leader" for about 2 to 3 hours and then celebrate it as the" pinnacle" of auto racing .It's ridiculous! Oh yippee! My favorite driver, Jauques "BLAH,BLAH,BLAH" posted a time of 0:22 in Sector 4 during Q3! Give me a break.
