Yeah, definitely following him now.
I kind of understand Tiff Needell's type of response (well, why don't we take the weight restrictions off the prototypes, then?!), but it does sorta miss the point, as many have.
If the costs of running and development for Proto-class cars is part of what's killing the teams, then DW-type development is called for. Triple and quadruple stints on tires, and those engines just have to be cheaper and more durable at that spec. Less aero dev cost war, one would hope.
They do get to sneak in the torque-vectoring; development of improvements to aid systems like that could be another expensive arms race, which might be best avoided.
In other news, Patrick Dempsey's life must really suck..... not.
