I say, if you can't hang with the big dogs, then get off the porch. One reason I love F1 is because I watch those guys on Speed, with the long camera lenses, and they are going so bloody fast, my jaw drops.
Should they slow em down? If they reduce engine capacity or add more drag, they seem to make it up with tires right away. The only solution, it seems, is to go to a spec tire. When that happens, the manuf makes the tire harder, which increases lap times. Makes for more tail-wagging, too
Personally, I'm sick of all the rules to make the cars slower. That's why I LOVE MotoGP (even if its not two-strokes anymore).
