Comments by "Piccalilli Pit" (@piccalillipit9211) on "What Happens When Racing Has No Rules?" video.
PEOPLE ALWAYS GO ON ABOUT NO RULES RACING but a race engineer told me it would never be what people expect as racing is mostly limited by the safety at the track, so in reality it would look VERY similar to what we have today. OR there would be multiple fatalities per race. Rules are there to keep drivers alive - NOT to make cars boring and slow.

@rideepicdriveepic weird reply

@rideepicdriveepic - I dont - I mostly loath Am3ric4. I was just pointing out a fact that they don't have technical test in most states - which partially accounts for why they unalive in cars 12 X more often than Europeans. But what it does not result in - apparently - are lots of amazing cars. They just drive death traps.

@answeris4217 - In Europe you basically get arrested if you put a go faster stripe on your car LOL

@extragoogleaccount6061 F1 is boring - but thats kinda where you end up with all racing. In the same way as profit tends towards zero and entropy increases - racing tends toward boring as speed and power increase and the desire to keep drivers alive increases. what made racing fun in the past was our lack of technical knowledge/lack of materials science and our willingness to sacrifice drivers. If you make racing unlimited we will just program computers to drive the cars in 2024 and take the driver out cos they are the main limitation on the speed. The cars would do 400mph and pull 20G. In 2024 the limitation is keeping the human alive on the track in question - its the way 0-60 times for production cars have become irrelevant. My Merc used to do 0-6 in 4.2 seconds or something but I never did it more than a couple of times cos it was very unpleasant. We have technologically progressed beyond the endurance of the human.

@extragoogleaccount6061 On top of what I just said "Different engine configurations and car builds can be made without killing people. " I would make F1 do crazy stuff wiht the engines to try an make it fun again. OK - for the next 4 years its 2 litres 4 cylinders 2 stroke diesels. After that its V12 750cc petrol supercharged. After that its V10 1 Liter 2 stroke sump lubricated 2 stroke forced induction petrol just cos we all want to hear a 22,000 RPM 2 stroke V10 To make things interesting you have to move us back into the area where we dont know what we are doing properly. You have to have a 2 litres 4 cylinders 2 stroke diesels but you can have any aro you want cos its not going to go above 140mph

There arent in most of Am3ric4

@rideepicdriveepic - NO you cant. We appear to have got out wires crossed. You said "magine what sort of cars we'd be looking on the streets, were there no technical inspection rules" My point was - probably not that much different as they dont have technical tests in the US and they just drive the same except more dangerously badly maintained. Apparently, people are not that creative 😞 electric cars mean you can make almost any shape car - so what so we make - car shaped cars...

@extragoogleaccount6061 - I think my main reply got removed by YT in the new completely random censorship purge...
