So I'm not well versed in oval racing, is that a drawing of Dale Jr. with Dale Sr.'s fatal crash reflected in his sunglasses? If so, I don't see how this thread can really be the worst thread, NASCAR is just on another level.

Yo, Formula 1/Liberty/Ross Brawn, loving adopt this sick as hell testing rules:quote:MotoGP operates a system of technical concessions to allow the category’s newer manufacturers to catch up to the established front-running teams, which include the right to carry out unlimited in-season testing and engine development.

I doubt that’d be the case since F1 considers you an entirely new constructor when you change names.

As much as I wish there was some form of extended testing MotoGP's rules are specifically devoted towards getting new manufacturers in the sport. Aprilia is really the only manufacturer who seems to be happy being there to make up the numbers. Suzuki got hosed hard by having the restrictions imposed on them this year from winning a race last year, although admittedly that is atleast 60% their fault.

The problem is there's effectively 3.5 makers in the sport right now, two of which would not get the unlimited testing. I'm pretty sure Renault and McLaren Honda would have benefited from unlimited testing (especially Honda this year), though how much Renault would have given to RBR would remain to be seen. The private teams wouldn't get much of a bonus I think from more testing except for maybe better aero, which in that case maybe Haas and Sauber would be able to catch up.

You don't actually get more testing, it's more to do with you can re-homologate certain things mid season if you're in the poo poo tier of manufacturers. Comparing Suzuki and KTM is a good example, both homologated the wrong engine at the start of the season but KTM is allowed it re-homologate a different type of engine and has had a bit more of an upward momentum as the season has gone on. Renault's engine never would've qualified for this system under the rules since they've won atleast one race every season and been on the podium. Honda would but lol if you think that would've helped them. It's also worth noting MotoGP has a crazy homologation system for aero where you have your basic fairing and then an "aero" one that you need to homologate but can then cut poo poo out from it.

Formula 1 CEO Chase Carey insists Liberty Media has no wish to turn grand prix racing "into NASCAR", as he responded to Ferrari's criticism of the 2021 engine proposals. Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne last week complained about the increased focus on standardisation in the planned rules, claiming his team could pull out of F1 and saying "I don't want to play NASCAR globally". Carey is adamant that Liberty still wants differentiation between competing engines and cars, but with closer competition. "Actually I don't think we have a differing view to Ferrari," Carey said. "I'm not trying to be derogatory to NASCAR, but we don't plan to be NASCAR either. "We don't want to standardise the cars. We don't want 20 identical cars going round the track, and the only difference is the driver. "F1 is unique, and it marries up competitive sport to state-of-the-art technology. We want the teams to have the ability to do what they do to create cars that are unique to them - unique engines to them, unique bodies to them. "But we want to make success dependent on how well you spend your resources within some constraints, versus how much you spend. I think that's a healthier sport. "And then those that can develop the technologies, develop the capabilities that are better than others, will enable them to succeed." Carey is adamant that F1 needs to have closer competition and that fans want to see different winners, meaning teams would benefit from rules that made the field more competitive. "We want teams to compete to win, but we want all the teams to have a chance," he added. "It's never going to be equal, there are going to be favourites that evolve, but we want the teams to feel that they all have a fighting chance. "Sports are built on the unexpected, and we do want a sport that can have the unexpected. "If somebody wins every race every week, at the end of the day, the sport's going to suffer. "You need competition, you need the unknown, you need great finishes, you need great dramas. We've got to create that. "That attracts more funds, and realistically that benefits all the teams in the sport. Our first priority is to make this sport much better for us, and the existing teams in it." https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-boss-carey-responds-ferrari-criticism-nascar-976330/

An incel is a person who has spent time in prison (“in cell”). Catfishing is when you catch a catfish with your bare hands (aka noodling). Chads are devoted fans of Chadwick Boseman.

Dumb fans probably from reddit or some other godawful place: We want to see all the teams win races. Also the best era of F1 was when McLaren won all the races and all the other teams had cars that broke down after 10 laps.

Hmm that era was pretty popular too. It's almost like "different teams winning races" has very little to do with the popularity of the sport and it's more about making sure the sport is spectacular to watch and that the drivers are compelling larger-than-life figures.

The problem with Americans in sport is that they would do poo poo like buy the Spanish football league and conclude that nobody in Spain would possibly watch a sporting league where only like two clubs had a chance of winning the title.

Really, I have no problem with one team dominating a season if it's at least interesting. The first half of this year was interesting, then England happened and it went all to one side of the table.

Wicka will get mad at me but I think the sport is less viscerally exciting than it was in days past (a lot of it due to antiseptic circuits) which hurts the image of the sport.

I think blaming the tracks is missing the forest for the trees in this case. The reason why they're so cookie cutter is there has to be a set amount of "overtaking zones" or whatever you want to call it. The problem really is, if you ask me, is the amount of downforce increasing corning speeds and the fact the braking zones are so short compared the past making overtaking a massive chore, and that's before you get into "following close enough to have an overtake chance means ruining your tires" Then again, this argument has been rehashed so many times yet F1 as a whole wants to stick their fingers in their ears and bang on about ~engine noise~ or some irrelevant poo poo to the actual racing.
