VikingSkull posted:parity in auto racing is basically killing auto racing Parity isnt the problem. The problem is boring as gently caress cars that no one cares about. A good parity series can produce superb racing (90's BTCC was actually a parity formula but hoooooly poo poo they were mind boggling good racing) ... as long as you get the base cars right. The problem these days is most top level series have cars glued to the road and they loving suck - pull aero off most parity top level series and watch what happens. The best example of boring cars kills motorsport BUT not all is lost is WRC. The 1.6 litre WRC cars with 34mm restrictors were just.... ugh. Hence WRC lost a LOT of interest. However... the 2017 "Group B by another name" monsters are loving amazing. They are vicious, they have all sorts of flares and wings, the motors have real balls and they are also able to slide about and are a real spectacle. Hence crowds are coming back and I expect Finland to be the kind of holy poo poo we sued to see in the early 80's... except a whoolle lot faster. The new cars are genuinely that good. WRC I might point out is technically a parity formula based on engine power restriction.
