Um... you?
umm no I didn't, actually I was thinking of a large variety of race cars from Can Ams, Sports Sedans through to Indycars throughout racing history - my head isn't stuck up F1's ass as the end to end all of motor racing besides it's rarely been the most powerful series.

No, most didn't crash actually.

by not using any type of automated controls to enhance the tractive performance of such a lightweight chassis?
How long do you think those controls have been around and specific to F1 as most race series don't allow them?
Anyway, don't know how we got here, a V8 in a Locost is a suitable solution, a number of them out there prove it including members of this forum along with a handful of well known and respected manufacturers - Elfin V8, Caterham V8, Westfield V8, Donkervoort V8, Dax V8, Gillete V8, Stalker V8 (as well as their supercharged V6), others of course and that's just the Locost style without mentioning other lightweight V8 styles and they all seem to be all doing just fine with the concept.
