    Honestly, why don’t we just have the racers in multi million dollar racing rigs remotely controlling the cars, that way they can get as ridiculous as they want with the rules and we keep the human factor with no risk

      Pretty much DRL but with wheels. I’ve watched a few seasons but they tend to lose funding or whatever and don’t stick around for long. Plus with the driver not actually in the vehicle it loses something for me.

      I think the risk helps keep them in check. They don’t drive so crazy and risk property damage of the cars and tracks so much if theyre physically inside the vehicle themselves. Otherwise they might be tempted to over-drive their vehicle and wreck it, costing their team money, the track for repairs, and potentially injuring spectators.

      Yes, wrecks still happen, so long as humans are not perfect that is always a possibility. But I think eliminating the risk of injury from the driver for going a little too crazy would increase the potential for wrecks to occur.
