If it's drivers then give them all THE VERY SAME MAKE OF CAR!

If it's not then let teams put whatever design of car they want on the track. (within given safety regulations!)

I hate the mish-mash that we have now, drivers are given credit when it's obvious the car is the reason for the win or exceptional drivers are let down by their team not being able to spend 100mil on a car.
They're doing that thogh with introuding financial limits on the teams.. isn't that coming in next year with the new rules about grand prix wins? i.e. winner to be decided by number of races won rather han points
and IIRC all the teams, sponsors, tracks and drivers are against the "number of wins" rule. (But I completely agree with the financial aspect.)

I've gone off F1 somewhat these days.
I would prefer to watch Champ car or even formulas Ford or 3 as there's a lot more action.

I prefer not to watch a dozen or so cars do the same thing for several hours. :ddpan:

Playing this game will produce the same affect as watching 20 morons drive around in a circle. :tup:

That is why A1GP was created. Bringing the racing back to skill, not just money.

The weather on the track is about the same as left Thailand. The rain season starts early this year I guess.
