I think the problem for the rulemakers is actually development. Teams tend to make dev on their cars, and so a BoP has to made to haul that car back in.
That said, SRO actually had everybody whine about how BoP was unfair to them, so maybe they got it right?  |
That's not how it happened, yes they had those pre-season BoP tests and success ballasts but in addition to those the weight/restrictors were changed and tweaked after every single round of the championship. Why do you think Phoenix and Mad Croc were whining when they got s*itload of extra ballast and restrictors after the opening round? Do you really think FIA got it right when DBR9s were running ~100kg lighter?
Anyways, I've told my opinion about BoP numerous times on this forum, so no need to say it again.
