That is exactly my point though. Over any lap or stage the newer cars would leave the older more powerful cars but they are much less interesting to watch. I prefer to see a racing driver working at the wheel and as a driver I prefer to work the car. There can't be as much satisfaction in the car doing most of the work for you.

It's a tricky subject but the fact is that the older & rawer cars look more interesting to watch. When was the last time you saw a rally driver in a WRC machine have to use a Scandinavian flick to get the car to turn in?
