F1 in those days was even better: one year you'd have Ken Tyrrell show up with six freaking wheels on his cars: organizers looked, rubbed their chins, said "alright lad, have at it". today they'd have Ken arrested.
i think the problem is that organizers everywhere have come to believe that spectators are only interested in the drivers, an idiotic idea that had it's origins with Bill France and spread like plague. Tony George (a complete knave imho) caused the plague to mutate into the dopey kit-cars we have now.
Formula E makes my teeth itch. i have nothing else to say about Formula E.
