I can only speak from personal experience, but the last few Indy races I've seen (not recently) have been snoozefests. Same thing whenever I turn on Formula 1. Good luck passing.
Everyone can bitch all they want about no current technology, etc, but look at how much money people spend on R&D and repairs trying to race stock junk. A good World Challenge GT car is $250-300k and I'd guess a WC TC car is approaching the $100,000 mark if it's not already past. GT cars are using big dollar sequentials and TC cars are at least using dog boxes, some have sequentials. Both series are allowed to use dry-sump systems and big $$$ engine management systems. I don't have a connection to any of the teams, but I try to watch/listen to whatever I can find about them. If you think a NASCAR motor is expensive, ask LG how much his Hollinger transmission cost with all the bells and whistles. This post has been edited by nape: Aug 9 2008, 03:23 PM |
