AMEN!
The technology still is shitty. But they have built the absolute hell out of it!!!
Those suckers are running flat out redline all the way around those super speedways!!! 8000+ RPM from pit stop to pit stop. It is absolutely insane in my opinion, and very badass because it's highly competitive.
But its' not really THAT technically advanced, just well engineered and built within its stone age limits.
An F1 motor would probably blow up if it was at redline as much as the nascar motors are, but that'd due to 3.5 liter v10 producing 800 hp, instead of a 5.7 liter producing 800 hp. just more stress on the motor.
