Is Motorsport going the wrong way?

[Allan]

Part of the problem as I see it, is that the cars aren't "real" anymore. In the "good old days" we started with a real car and built it into a race (or rally) car according to the rules for the class and the finances that were available for the job, as well as our experiences with previous projects. The big thing here is we used our ingenuity and skill to knock out something that did the job and in many cases reflected our personality. And we learned how to stuff big components into small spaces so that the sport ended up with entries like the Morrari, the Custaxie, Jag engined Humber 80s and V8 powered Zephyrs. The most important fact is we did it ourselves. Compare this to TA2 where all the cars regardless of make run the same supplied motor. V8 Supercars are not a lot different either, in that in reality they are only silhouettes of the cars they pretend to be.
