If the car companies go home, the big sponsors take a break and France has to rethink what it takes to draw a crowd, maybe they'll figure out that people want to see a race and not a parade. The fastest way to fill the stands is abandon the car of tomorrow, remove all restrictor plates, publish and consistently enforce one uniform set of standards and rules for engines and cars, and get the hell out of the way and let 'em race. And if that means Ford beats Chevy 10 races in a row by 10 laps (or vice versa), then that's just the way it is.

Agreed. This is why I so enjoy watching the American Le Mans Series as well as the Rolex Series. Great racing. |
