I agree with you Bob. The prototypes & the green thing & the diesels kind of bother me, but I guess I have become used to the diesels now.

I used to watch two series from Europe, DTM and another one that corvettes competed in on Bloomberg TV.....it was entertaining but Bloomberg stopped buying the tape & I can't seem to locate that stuff on my cable system now. The corvettes were in with the F-cars & lambos & the rest of them. The vetts did fairly well, or did do well.

I missed the Senna/Mansell/Prost era mostly, cable system didn't have speed back then! I came in on the tail end I think, I remember Senna's crash at San Moreno and Shueys start at Benaton(sp?) with the cosworth V8's. I still say the passing is a figment of my imagination in the professional ranks.

I hate to say this but I think the aero in F1 is the bane of the series. It was for a long time in NASCAR & made for boring racing. They dirtied up the aero & the cars are less aero dependent now & it turned out fairly well to watch. Maybe F1 needs to limit the front wing & all the side stuff and loose the new rear wing. Maybe come up with a cheap N/A motor formula & go back to SMG boxes with shifter handles??? I thought the FIA was trying to figure a way to cut expenses?
