Ive always thought that F1 should be the absolute best of what humans can make cars to be, and each year they should improve and break past those limits. Engineers obviously don't run it, or we'd still have glorious V12s instead of 1.6 liter boosted lawnmowers. Personally, I think F1 shouldnt have as few restrictions as possible.
The cars arent marvels of art. They arent marvels of driving pleasure. They arent marvels of making drivers look good. They are marvels of engineering. Nothing should go faster around a track than an f1 car. Companies should invest as much as they can (maybe up to a certain cash limit, albeit a high one, to allow smaller manufacturers a chance) to make the fastest fucking thing on 4 wheels around flat pavement. I want to see something go 0-300km in 3 god damn seconds, shed half of that in another 2, and proceed to corner at 7g. The drivers are being paid millions of dollars a season, brain damage should be an inherent risk of taking the job. That's what I think the point of f1 should be. For driver skill we have stuff like WEC and touring, but f1 should be focused on the cars.
And if not f1, then we should have a type of racing for that. "You have $50 million, make a car that can put up the fastest laptime around these tracks." Or something like that, maybe not 50 million but you get the point

we could probably do that but the issue with that is that you'd have to build a completely new set of tracks to accomodate cars like this, the run-off areas would need to be enormous, spectator safety would have to be completely rethought since there's a possibility of 500kmh airborne cruise missiles, and you can forget racing at tracks like monaco.
the racing itself could be very interesting with rules like that because at those speeds I doubt no human could maintain optimal braking spots and racing lines all the time or even most of the time, it would be about who dares to push the limit the most and we'd probably see a lot of overtakes due to driver in front making a mistake. wheel to wheel racing on the other hand would probably disappear

Who cares when Touring car masters is a thing? You can even watch most of the full races on the youtoobs.
GT2 is build the fastest car possible and have performance balanced by regulations
GT3 is build the fastest car possible to a set field of regulations
GT2 is a shitshow, which is why the FIA can engineer victories for Ford's 50th Le mans anniversary by letting them use a non production prototype and boosting their performance.
GT3 is usually won by whoever has the best development.

>GT3 is build the fastest car possible to a set field of regulations GT3 is a class that was built out of taking obsolete one make cars and balancing them with weight and air restrictors. It has next to no technical regulations and is the category that popularized performance balancing in international motorsport. Unless there is a massive difference in teams or drivers, GT3 is -always- won by who has either the newest car that they can't figure out how BoP properly or the best BoP lobby.
The only legit open GT class in major motorsport these days is JAF-GT300, and there's only three of those cars. They are also about as road relevant as F1 anyways considering two of them are mid-engine Prius with IndyCar engines.
