(Someone should tell all the fans this.... It isn't NASCAR where you see cars passing each other back and forth and bumping eachother all the time. This is about Racing Precision)
Your are correct, but Nascar (and Sportsman and Sprints) are one extreme. The other extreme is removing passing completely, which even F1 has not evolved into. True, there has been no passing of a certain Ferrari this year, but there is plenty of passing back in the pack, if the media will cover it. Otherwise we should just have a qualification consisting of a fast lap, a pit stop, and another fast lap......then award the trophy to the top three based on time.
Lets face it....nobody wants that. You couldn't even call it racing.
...and I don't think any change in the rules right now would make much of a dint in Ferrari's dominance. That is what a great deal of the hubbub is all about anyway. That and cost.
Ferrari has the superior driver/car/tire/design/team at the moment. They would still be winning if the rules called for 3 cylinder supercharged tricycles!
