I know we have more than a few Car racing fans here & super fans like Mags......and I admit, I know very little about any type of car racing so I have a couple of questions.
NASCAR Questions;
1. Are traction control devices allowed? If so, is the culture "yes they are good" or "only putz's use them" ?
2. Is satellite GPS used in ANY capacity to regulate traction control devices, throttle maxes or throttle cuts, or to apply braking?
3. Are all the engines really the same, as delivered?
I watched a bike race a couple of weeks ago.....a Gran Prix race in Europe...........and all the rider had to do was to sit on the damned bike, and weigh 108 lbs................okay, not all he had to do....but you get the point.....
Multiple GPS-activated "rider aids" systems seem to make the motorcycle racer much better than he would be alone....we don't know though b/c they never take the crutches off. I would have loved to see the group on an unregulated Talladega at 200-210mph! We would very quickly see who can ride...............lol
So, what about NASCAR?
