The reason they run the road and street courses is because that is where the money is. That is where the sponsors are. They would have run those tracks with or without GAP. Make no mistake. Just because you don't see them at Kokomo; Ganassi,Penske, and Andretti are real racers. They compete on such a high level that it seperates them from everyone else and it does not matter what the cars are like, they will still be upfront. These people will always be successful at whatever they do because they are incrediable fighters and competitors.
As far as the computers and controls and all of that, is it needed? Not entirely, but it helps the teams. I'm sure many of those items will come and go like they have in the past, but I do like the pressure sensors to let teams know if they are losing a tire.
Lets see: MoPar is basically a foreign company. In fact it is beed passed from country to country. GM is basically a govt. run corporation and the last thing I want is the govt. anymore involved in my racing. The only company that I would feel comfortable with is Ford because they have to this point managed to avoid the others pitfalls.
Actually; I don't care who the engine suppliers are, but I would like to see more of them. Although Honda has done an outstanding job.
Instead of losing the wings I just would have liked to see a flat bottom car.
