minus-squarefetter@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoI like the spec car idea. The thing I hate about sprint races is that it increases the potential cost for the smaller teams. Two races is two chances to wreck the car and incur cost in repairs. Bigger teams can absorb that a bit easier.
