Quote from scipy :

Actually, it's not over the top, not even a bit. IMO the only restriction in any racing class should be power to weight ratio and tire width - so you can fit 5 different types of cars in a class, and anyone can choose their weapon of choice.

And the resulting carnage from the differing lines/relative speeds on different sections of the circuit caused by placing dramatically different machines on the track at same time would be really conducive to good racing right?? No I didn't think so.

Also if your running a "cup" or anything similar setups should not be restricted in any way, why would someone who has the knowledge to give themselves a completley legal advantage

Errr... how can it be a "legal advantage" when it's not compliant with the series rules ?? Think you're missing the point of the whole ethos of spec racing. If the spec doesn't suit your tastes/talent just go find one that does and leave other people to race in series that suit their tastes/talents. There are plenty of different motorsport options to choose from.

be put in the same failboat as the whiner who just came there with no prep work at all and thinks he should have the same chance at winning.

Sounds more like you're the one whining about not being able to beat these guys that "just turn up with no prep work" to me.

In simracing it's even worse, many of the aspects that a good driver and/or race engineer would consider in real life racing are completley absent in simracing, there is no taking care of a car, keeping track of how many miles each component has and when they have to be changed, or a gazillion other things that help smart people get the car across the finish line. So, with all those "advantages" already gone, can you seriously argue some kind of locked setups and "equality"? It is for the mentally challanged.

Why care? if you're good, you'll be able to beat them anyway. Your whole post, (and others too), just sound like you're worried about a bit more competition maybe?? IF the changes result in more competition down the ranks what difference does it make to you if you're out in front? or do you worry that restricted set options will mean you can't win as easily anymore??

Your posts make no sense to me in all honesty. All I see in most of them is vitriol towards others with a different opinion to you.
