All modern car racing sucks, all of it. And the main reason is that all the cars have to be identical. At one time you could bring anything you could afford to the party. Andy Granatelli once brought a turbine-engined car to Indy. It broke down, but it scared all the geezers, so they banned it and mandated a specific engine.
Formula I once had Francoise Hardy in the pits, and drag racing had Jungle Pam Hardy (no relation). The F1 grid girls are now banned.
