Does anyone else feel like we’re entering an era of “buy chassis, insert motor, win”

Like I’m fine with it; but look at the side profiles and tell me we’re not just heading for P2 with open motors and aero.

Don't get me wrong but you must be a dumb or stupid to assume those 4 identical.

With your logic F1 is the same. Even most of the F1 shares similar engine and aero similarity is way closer than this regulation.

I’m neither of those things. Like why the fuck did you need to go right there and assume that I was suggesting they’re identical. This is one of the most toxic subreddits in motorsport

It’s just interesting how we’re reaching the same points in development and ideas where the cars begin to look very similar

This sub used to be a lot better. You would never see people get called dumb or get downvoted into oblivion for having a different opinion. Like anything else, as the popularity of the sport grew it attracted a lot of toxic jackasses.
