Time to go back to NA engines, the hybrids don't give the rock concert wall of sound

  I don't follow motorsports very closely, sorry, but racing hybrids sounds extremely queer.
  They might as well not do it at all.
  You cannot greenwash auto racing as "sustainable" when by its very nature it need not exist. It's done for sport.
  It's like people who hunt exotic animals agreeing to put suppressors on their rifles as if that somehow makes it more acceptable.

    There are very obvious performance benefits to running a hybrid.

    I think you're right, but I do wish the formula was more open ended. The super strict regs were supposed to prevent runaway costs, but now we have the cost cap. So like, why not institute a cost cap for the pu manufacturers and let them go nuts.

    The PU development is under a separate cost cap.
