How can this be fair?
The R8 in P1 form would still be faster than the Pescarolo. Surely you don't dispute that? As isynge pointed out, the Pescarolo originates from the C60, which is how old now? The remaining P1 teams are very small. Should the international tennis tours start demanding that Roger Federer play with a ping pong paddle because he's too good?
