It seems to me racing bodies suffer from a few of the same problems as politicians: (1) unlimited power, (2) enormous ego, (3) the constant need to satisfy #2 by passing more and more and more and more rules and regulations in order to justify their own existence.

Want better racing? Get rid of as many rules as possible. My ideal racing rulebook would look something like this:

1. Vehicles must be powered solely by drive wheels which remain in constant contact with the ground at all times.

2. Vehicles must have the following safety equipment for drivers/occupants:
-
-
- (list of required stuff)
-
-

3. No deliberate running off or damaging other vehicles.

4. Race starts at 10:00. Have fun.



In other words, build what you want, crew it how you want, use whatever power plant(s) you want, etc. Whatever tires, whatever fuel, etc. Then you'd see real innovation.
