lol, yes that vote thing is certainly a ridiculous stunt.
and if it becomes the difference in a race win then that result should have an asterix
but I suppose they want to get the fans involved. It is the wrong way to go about it. \Probably better paddock access, perhaps social media Q&A sessions and an awesome live stream package would have been enough. As a fan, i have no desire to be involved in the outcome of the race
so, thanks for pointing that foolishness out. I hope they reconsider it.you can't argue with results.

well said,
But i think the car swap is needed. Also considering that they say it should take about 90 seconds to swap and go, seems ok. Especially since all teams will do it and LMS cars take that long anyway when swapping drivers etc. Yeah the sound will get a bit of getting used to, but I think the technology will come when they integrate conventional sound in there. If F! games and sims can do it, then it might not be to far in the future to get some kind of program up and running that simulates more of a growl with the carsyou can't argue with results.

What it is, with this fanboost idea, is a "reality TV" gameshow. Generally I don't enjoy those at all. But they are usually based on things I don't particularly care about, like singing cover versions, dancing, or being a hysterical idiot in some sort of Orwellian nightmare. Who knows, maybe I'd like a "reality TV" show based on motorsport. But it doesn't sit right with me, and I certainly don't think it should be confused with actual motorsport.

it is an open series so teams are free to design their own cars and chassis, within the spec parameters. much like F1. And last I heard, there were a few different power units being offered. Also several F1 teams have contributed some standard components to the cars like mclaren, williams etc. So there is a good tie in there with some of those F1 teams
you can't argue with results.

Yeah, but that would be fake too. I don't like anything in racing to be faked. I hate the whole DRS thing. I hated the idea of the F1 megaphones and bringing back titanium skid blocks to improve "the show." I don't want to watch a "show." I want to see racing.
Racing is spectacular enough without having to artificially make it better. The best way to have real racing is to keep the racing real.

By the way, if some of you are curious about electric RC planes, they are bad ass.
Give this a look:

Maybe after the first race, this fan voting concept will be revoked.
