I didnt really know what to put down in the subject space. What I see is that CART, ALMS, Trans Am, race on cheaply prepared race tracks. I was watching ALMS at Road America yesterday, and the track looked dirty as hell, the track it self is all marked up with some shit stains, and grass and the gravel traps look like shit, what happend??? Same goes for CART, the tracks look cheap.

Take a look at F1, all the tracks look like they have just been build. Look at FIA GT, same thing tracks are polished out.

Nascar tracks on the other hand look as good as F1 tracks, but all the GT tracks look like shit, whats the story behind that???

In trans am they have a locked rear differential because teams spend to much money on setting up their limited slip diffs, thats justs cheap. The next day cars wont have bloody dampers or springs and will be fitted with automatics so the teams wont have to spend money on the cars setups iether. That is just pure cheap.

Do ALMS and CART have such low budgets? Or someone is just pocketing the money?
