Agreed. The best change, IMO, is the tire rule. The one set per race thing
sucked, at least for me. I hope that they get a bit more of close racing.
Last year was an improvement, but 3-4 cars on the lead lap (educated guess)
average per race is still sometimes boring. Anyone know if they are going
back to slicks? I think moving to slicks and decreasing downforce might help
some.......But the big money teams would probably still be able to design
around it.
