Exactly, they are spec race cars with different names on the front. It is turning into a joke, instead of being a world class race series. It is becoming the WWE of motor racing which is called "Sports Entertainment".

Each manufacturer should be obliged to design and build their own race cars based on their street cars (they are called stock cars for heaven's sake), there should be a weight limit, engine displacement limit, carb limit etc. There should be a full set of safety rules, a limit on yellow flag pit stops, a virtual elimination of unnecessary yellow flag laps, no more lucky dog rule, and then make them run. I think that true race fans would appreciate this form of racing much more than the 190 lap parade followed by a 5 or 10 lap sprint to the finish, that we now see.
