    By bringing more and more technology in motor racing, this is what we arrive at: driverless racing.

    At least, it will be a straightforward competition between engineers, without the need for over-paid prima dona jockeys.
    But what will the tabloids will have to say about the races in future? And will that still be considered a sport?

    The future, for the purists, is historic racing ...

    LOL. fair point ;)

    This could be cool *IF* they allowed the engineers to build cars that exceed the human limits for speed, i.e. cornering forces over 10g, etc. blindingly fast race cars cover a multitude of sins.

    however if it's just autonomous FE cars, who cares.

    Concur. Would be amazing to see robots do something we physically cannot.
