its sad what this does to car culture.
when you have students showing up with 400+hp on the regular, its really hard for them to actually learn car control without wrecking something very expensive first. the best advice i have for such students, who bring there 60 plus grand, 400 + hp car to an event is sell it and by something reasonable. the smart ones show up in a miata, the dumb ones go "road racing is so expensive" while leaning on the hood of a 60+ grand car that could pay for an entire rig, race car, and 3 seasons of racing. and the consumables on these cars make them all but impossible to actually campaign on any reasonable budget.
its sad what the horsepower wars have done to us. all but made it impossible for normal people to actually do things with cars.
in the way actually, i think the EV conversion in motorsports is welcome. power is irrelevant in the EV game because its decoupled from ownership costs and running costs compared to ICE.
