Thanks.
No problem. The COT (to me) is just a ridiculous-looking joke of a racecar. I'll admit that the wing makes up about 75% of the obnoxious value, but it's still butt-ugly overall. Not to mention the enormous amount of money teams have had to spend on the COT.
The GWC is like playing extra innings or going into overtime when there isn't even a tie in the first place. Answer this. If the GWC is such a good idea, why do they only give it one attempt before they call the race? The racing I was brought up on was based on a fixed distance and no "guarantee" of excitement. Imagine if in football, they outlawed taking a knee to run out the clock because it wasn't exciting for the fans. Hey, that's sports. Sometimes there is drama, other times not. But what Brian France is doing is more like Hollywood or pro wrestling.
The testing and tire rules are another attempt to reduce the cost of racing and increase competition. But the net result is that the teams with the most money will always be able to overcome these obstacles. (Just look at the Hendrick cars this year) The teams with less money will just fall further behind.
That’s just my take.
