I'll even walk back the F1 suggestion because I get they are the bleeding edge Though, I'd argue stock blocks would make Indycar more relevant to the market they are in.

There's all of two manufacturers in Indycar, I'm pretty sure if they were at all interested in V8s or it would get another manufacturer in they'd find a way to make that happen.

it doesn't matter that they can find a way to make it happen. no one said they couldn't. the problem is that it ends any manufacturer interest in investing in the sport, and non-auto sponsors would likely reconsider being involved in something so rear end backwards and dated. nobody is going to spend their marketing budget on that sport, you get nothing out of it.

all of these manufacturers make minivans, too. should indycar race minivans? the existence of V8s in road cars is not what anyone is talking about. you know that, and yet you persist.

besides - we've gone over this. manufacturers were given basically a blank slate by the FIA and indycar to design engines. no one wanted a V8. you are wrong, sorry, i hope we can never have this idiot conversation ever again.

"5.0L V8's seem to be the perfect engines for open wheel cars" what does the SC stand for in nascar? Sopen Cwheel? again - you are literally wrong, dude. open wheel series and manufacturers don't want V8s. move on with your life

NASCAR is hardly the peak of road relevant racing, weren't they still using carbs like five years ago?

While we're on the subject of bad posts and obsolete things no-one wants to see but are consistently put into racecars, Mark Webber's retiring at the end of the WEC season.

they are, and manufacturer involvement is the specific reason they're moving away from the V8 image. fine by me since traditionally the ATCC had a shitload of engine types being run
