Motor sports are about spectical, no different than Roman gladiators. In fact all profesional sports are about spectical.
Carbon fiber was developed in the aircraft industry.
Inovation is discuraged in the motorsports arena, case in point; Jim Hall and his chapparel race cars of the 70's, and dustbin fairings in motorcycle racing in the 50's. Colin Chapmin had meany of his inovations ruled out of F1. The rules for profesional bicycle racing prohibit recumbents and other inovations because they do not add very much to the spectical of the event...
Why is it allowed? Ask the Romans...
Anyone up for a little chariot racing?
