At the last LI race 1/3rd finished so chances are good anyone could've won... usually it's the 2cent part that lets you down.
Don't ask how I know...

I Agree on the need for classes... Free for all is one and keeps the sport enjoyable.

At that point its not racing. Its wishing and hoping upon a star!!! Whats the word for it...Oh yea, "LUCK".

Pretty lame in my book.

Regarding their stringent rules well Nascar nowadays is a running joke. I've never seen a Toyota V8 2d sedan on the showroom floor...and Hopefully I do not have to either.

An equal/level playing field has nothing to do with speed. Rules and regulations across the sport is what makes a race a "fair". Again, the reason why rules are set in place.

So you think allowing one competitor to have a larger fuel tank is not an advantage? uhhh...you are wrong. This eliminates pit stops, ect...Just an example.

Racing is always about bending the rules.... or finding a loophole and always will so the rulemakers will always come a step behind, therefore in these kinda races I see it fit to have less rules and focus on safety and finishing.

Therefore no rules no loopholes, may the best win.

Yes one.. as in Everyone.

It all depends of the conditions if one is faster without pitstops or not. Sometimes a larger fuel tank filled is not an advantage...and there's millions of examples in motorsport to support my stand.

Yes.. but for how long ?

Do you want it filled with TNT or Nitroglycerin ;) ?

Agree we are off topic and differ in our views.

But try a race before giving up that's all I can say to you.. you might get hooked.

Its not giving up. Its simple math. If someone doesn't understand it, they should open a textbook.

The lesson of the story.. Miracles do happen if you TRY!
