    Ya just came across that article this morning. Great, know the Audi's are really going to have there hands full with the Porsche's and Acura's. They better figure out something quick when the Acura comes into P1 next year cause they are getting pretty damn quick.

    I understand that they are trying to make everything more competitive. It seems that they are going biased headhunting rather then leveling the field. They seem to be throwing the problem to the side rather then push other teams to use high displacement engine's. This series seems to be traveling down F1's path. The point of racing in it's purest form is to engineer greatness for best possible result. That means using the best engine's and drivers. Maybe they should start limited driver capabilities If they want to reduce engine sizes they should bring back the rotary and then they whine about domination...

    They seem to ban anything that has a good success rate. You would think that "losing" would push teams to engineer harder but basically they are saying, you don't have to try because as soon as you lose we ban the winner.

    I was a huge fan of F1 but once again politics has seem to have struck another one of my favorite racing classes/ series.
