The way i judge CC and IRL is by what elements of the old CART Indycar they have.
IRL has - Indy 500, Mid Ohio etc.
- The variety of tracks.
- ethanol, similar to the methanol of old.
- Low nose design.
CC has - Long Beach, Surfers, Laguna, Cleveland etc.
- The 2.65l V8 turbo for that propoerr Indycar noise, the IRL 3.5l NA V8s sound dull imo.
- The shape of the old style Indycars, i.e. the roll hoop instead of an F1 airbox, less downforce and the horizontal fuelling filler.
So neither is perfect.
TG and KK et al need to get out the old tapes of 1993-4 Indycar and 2000-03 CART and see what made them so great.
