Watching the V8s (on TV) in Adelaide this weekend. The formula struggles now to find a relevant car, nobody much drives Camaros or Mustangs. They don’t even make the Camaro any more I don’t think. Make it a contest between V8s and hybrids. That will spice it up. I mean it’ll be embarrassing for the V8s, but imagine how much people would love the fight. And top car racing is also always about extending the technology, to flow down to ordinary drivers. You’re not doing that with V8s in American muscle cars. F1 made this shift years ago. Le Mans too.
