I guess that's what technological advancements brings us along with the change in times, industrial spying where everyone knows what everyone else has; maybe all the "big" differences have been exhausted and we're now down to subtleties of tweeking to make cars perform better, weigh less, or last longer while also taking into consideration that not every driver drives the same and gets the same performance so that is still a variable that has to be recognized and accommodated in design and performance.

As the world has moved forward with technology, inventions, and so forth so must auto racing......we wouldn't want it left behind in the dust, now would we?
