Ok. You done took yo ignant stick and poked it right there at my lil ole heart.
Let's talk after you have visited a NASCAR shop and checked out the engine building department. Where do you think all the technology in tire development, fuel efficiencies, weight to performance improvements, safety apparatus come from required to meet US specific mandated standards?
PS: Worked the circuit 1988-1996; know the best in the field. Please retract that "undemanding", "low-tech" crap as a matter of professional courtesy. Or come on down here and I'll take you to Charlotte. You can see for yourself, seeker of truth.
Since your involvement, GM and Chrysler have failed. GM got their best cars from their Australian subsidiary near the end. There are no no American interests represented in Formula 1, the premier auto racing series.
The demanding high tech stuff is happening in international series, like Formula 1, LeMans, German Touring Car, etc.
Since you asked so nicely, I will retract my remark ""undemanding", "low-tech" crap as a matter of professional courtesy."
Retracted.
Next year Formula 1 will be running turbo 4 cyl. putting out about 700 hp, to 17000 rpm. And with the number of engines limited for the season.
Mario Andretti has started announcing races, for NBC Sports Network. There is a new world class track near Austin, built for Formula 1.
You go to Charlotte, I go to Laguna Seca. At Sonoma the Nascars have to turn both left and right.
