[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1091789, member: 56232"] I think fundamentally open wheel racing is always limited in overtakes as drivers have to be much more careful, any contact can take them out of the race. They can mess about with the regs all the want but I think as long as you have flimsy parts on the car such as the front wing or exposed tyres, the racing will always be cautious. Closed wheel cars that can take a knock are what you need if you really want regular overtaking and F1 is never going to have that. It's a bit of a catch 22, whatever makes a car really fast around a track is also what will make it bad at racing other similar cars around a track. Short of gimmicks like DRS and batteries to temporarily make the cars have uneven performance, you simply can't complete most overtakes due to how little the time difference is between 2 cars from the start of a straight to the end of the braking zone.
