I disagree about Toyota being no worse. In the WRC they disgraced themselves before excelling, and in F1 they disgraced themselves, but are still a long way from winning. I also don't think many of us on here want Supercars to be like NASCAR, and 'get away with racing cars that are all originally FWD'.

I DO agree with your comment: "If this were sport, there would be no parity and may the best man win." The Rugby World Cup is in town ATM. I didn't see Namibia getting freedoms to enable it to compete on equal terms with NZ, France, etc. Well, it did compete on equal terms. It just needed more freedoms.

Touring car racing with Minis, Cortinas and EH Holdens competing on equal terms seems so long ago.
