InitialDave posted:I like that NO-ONE thinks the last decade and a half has any claim to "best racing cars". I see one vote for 2000s. But it makes sense. I voted 90s because that's the last decade in most series where you still saw some level of truly new technical innovation. Even that was largely gone by the end of the decade. By 2000, pretty much every series had decades of rules outlawing every newfangled technology that scared the Old Guard too much. Even if a series wasn't a "spec" series, the narrowly written rules didn't allow significant variation from the ideal solution.

Its the sheep game, so I gave the answer I thought most of you nerds would. The last decade and a half have awesome gt cup racing, nascar finally allowing fuel injection, rallying is getting back to some truely insane speeds, your grassroots racing series popping up means you don't need a small mountain of money to do something other than local friday night drag racing in alot of places in the us, you have the birth of a whole new racing style with drifting. There is alot of change and awesome poo poo happening if you ignore the poo poo show of overly rich fru fru europeans called formula 1.

Ahahaha, you grouped the "buying" and "leasing" answers together, I loving love you. I don't understand why rotating tyres is odd, though. Don't most vehicles wear one pair out faster than the other?

InitialDave posted:Bringing it back to the actual subject matter: In all seriousness, I don't understand why tyre rotation would be in any way silly? You establish the wear rate front/rear, and swap tyres so that all four need replacing at once, thus never having a really serious difference in traction either end. Why wouldn't you do that? When you have a staggered set with directional tires, no rotation for you.
