These were the days. OK it's fictional, but a lot of F1 drivers took part, including Bruce McLaren whom my late OH worked for around that time.

The MotoGP is far more exciting, you can't really "engineer" the danger out of that, being slightly crazy is a prerequisite.

Re: What's wrong with Formula one?

I have always wondered why the best drivers start at the front? Surely they should be at the back to give the others a chance?

The drivers practice before the race day & the fastest get pole or close to the front positions, they slot in in order of their times.

Re: What's wrong with Formula one?

There’s always been dominant teams in f1, in the days of Micheal Schumacher the Ferrari was so dominant it could start at the back of the grid, and still win, McLaren,Williams, Renault red bull have all dominated at some point, the fia bring out rules to try and make all the teams equal ,but the teams find ways around this ( legally) by developing the aero packages, to give more downforce, and the teams with the most cash are at the forefront of this, Ferrari, for example, have one guy employed just to design the wing mirrors, at £25.000 each !,, some of the more modern , Herman tilke designed tracks don’t really lend themselves well to overtaking, like some of the established venues, some of the lesser teams , haas, Toro Rosso, ect are seen as B teams, and are supplied with the same engines as the main teams have, they just don’t have the R&D cash to further their development and aero, engine parts and the like are passed to them after the main teams have developed them, and are already onto the next update..
