Your original comment gave absolutely nothing to go off. What does the “right size” mean? You’ve never once explained that.
You can watch the WEC race at Imola this year and see that the cars aren’t the issue. Or even the 2005 F1 race. It’s just the nature of the circuit. Something that when I’ve brought up you’ve ignored.
So your hypothetical question is either, design the cars to do something the track won’t allow, or dump a track that doesn’t encourage overtaking. And I would much rather F1 dump Imola, then get lost chasing shadows. Hence the mention of Canada and early Pirellis.
Now you’ve also said that I must want other narrow tracks off the calendar. Which is a major leap in logic that i don’t follow. And I’ve no idea how you came to that conclusion.
Shrinking the cars isn’t going to fix anything. There is so much more at play. WEC Hypercars are bigger than the old LMP1 cars, but the racing is a lot better. Which according to you is physically impossible.
respond to my position
I have. Repeatedly. But it is quite hard when I don’t think even you know your position.
See man that is what I was looking for. A clear position with underlining logic. If you had said something like that from the beginning. Instead of a one sentence jab. I might have agreed with you.
For me thinking that you had an issue with the width. Is something I had to infer because you responded to my comment about the cars being too wide for the track. Also you didn’t refute it when I made that comment about the other tracks. Instead you started talking about pirelli tires.
I find it amusing that you don’t think I have not articulated my position. Seeing you actually responded to my position in the last comment. Instead of talking about Canada and Pirelli tires. That seems like pretty good evidence that my position was clear.
Oh and lastly the question about how small the cars should be. You know that’s a bullshit question right? That’s a full on straw man. Clearly your goal there was get me to not have an answer for it. So you can use that lack of an answer to invalidate everything else I’ve said. Sorry not going to play.
Man if the Monaco race didn’t clearly demonstrate why larger cars make racing worse. There is nothing I could say to change your mind. It is not worth my trouble. You go ahead and think what ever you want to think, I wouldn’t stop you.
It’s clear you don’t know what you’re on about, and are just parroting someone else’s opinion. Maybe after a few years of watching actual races rather than tiktok highlights. You might understand racing.
Lol so you’re saying that it is okay for Monaco to be boring and have bad racing but it is not okay at Imola? That seems pretty inconsistent. If you must know I was mostly referring to the half lap red flag that delayed the race for an hour. All three incidents that took place in that first half lab can be directly attributed to the cars being too wide for the track.

When did I ever say that? Also there’s way more to racing than just overtakes.
too wide for the track.
Modern cars aren’t any wider than they were in the 90’s, 2 metres. Same width as the 80’s and 70’s.
Do you have anything better than petty insults?
When I’m making multiple points that you are just flat out ignoring. Choosing instead to bury your head in other people’s opinions. It’s the only thing you react to.
I mean, I’m still waiting on you trying to explain how shorter cars would improve racing.

I know your statement is. That’s why it’s been hard to respond. I’m still waiting on how you think smaller cars will fix Imola.

Monaco has always been like that.
