I don’t keep up with it very well...but it seems that they are constantly coming up with new rules to slow down the cars. It makes it a bit safer, I suppose.
crashing at 196 vs 206 I don’t think will make much difference.
I was just wondering because the speed she got the pole at seems to be lower than what I remember people qualifying for pole was a few years ago, up in the 204-206 range, maybe 209 range on a good day.
