I just want the cars to get smaller. Some tracks suck now that the cars can’t pass.

Or at least stop bringing crap street tracks and get real tracks for racing. Vegas, Miami, Baku, Saudi, and also shit race tracks in desert like Abu Dhabi. I bet if we remove that we would get better racing even if cars size stay the same.

Exactly this… there’s too many tracks that need smaller cars to have better races. Engine noise does nothing, especially for the majority watching from home.

I agree. I think we need smaller cars, not louder ones. Going back to some of the older races with larger (louder) engines was fun for a few laps but eventually got hard to listen to. Obviously big advancements in media coverage will help with that.

Rotaries are on the menu?

We'll see if that actually makes any difference, but I hope it will. Engine noise really is a key part of the enjoyment of a racing series, and if you look at how fallen from grace the WRX has been since they turned electric, you'll see what this means.

Also, I was coming here to post this same link, and I didn't see it in the main community. But when I put it up in the submission box, this showed up. Is federation still not working properly and I'm just not seeing the new posts show up?
