FI cars are great if you are into electronics controlling everything. The cars are super fast but IMHO they have taken over almost all the drivers duties with electronics. Anti-Lok brakes, clutchless shifters, traction controll, etc. The drivers just steer the cars now. I would like to see the drivers have to use one hand for shifting and the left leg for using the clutch. Ditch the ABS, Traction Control and let the driver control the car like Jacki Stewart, did back in the day.

Most of the drivers from 20 years ago could adapt easily to todays cars with the electronic driving aids but could todays drivers drive the old tech cars and compete with the old drivers? Some could but I bet many could not.

They should combine some of the IRL, CART and F1 rules and come up with a happy medium and hold a Real World Championship at the end of the year where the top 12 Drivers from each series compete at three races. One race at the top track of each series. Now that would be fun. Kind of like IROC but with better cars.
