That's BS. If they could run roadster-style cars before, they can sure heck run them now. You're obviously a Penske/CART fan and loathe and disdain us dirt racers, Tony George and racecars w/o wings, so why are you here with your "2" posts? You make out like TG torpedoed everything, but there were already issues before he made his move and it was common knowledge. Also racing isn't just about top speed in and of itself, that would be the salt flats. Actual Racing is about beating the other guy, striving to be the quickest, whether that's 60MPH, 120MPH or 200MPH. Usually the higher the terminal speed is the worse the racing is and ironically a lot of the larger world racing sanctions have finally begun to understand this and started limiting downforce capabilities, like defusers in F1 and spoiler height in Nascar. I left out the derisiveness this time, just for you.

Best of luck to Fernando, he's a gifted driver and I have no issue with him competing or even winning the 500 and I'm proud that it means enough still, that he'd bypass Monaco to compete in it.
