This is what NASCAR is trying to do today. Make all cars the same and equal from the same source. The car here were all prepared by one shop and as equal as possible. Ever race drivers got a different driver. Guess NASCAR wasn't getting enough money. I much preferred these cars over the circus they now have.
but the Nascar problem is that we have zero reason to watch identical soap bubble cars do 500 laps at 175mph. It's pointless. BUT, give us 1965 Chevelles? 1975 Camaros? 71 Barracudas? at only 125mph? And they would have an audience. We have no interest in F1 20 year olds, or 23 year old unknown Nascar drivers. When it was the Unser, Gurney, Pearson, Allison, Follmer, Fittipaldi, Donohue, Posey, and Parnelli we were interested, because of the cars they drove, and the ferocity they raced with
