It's a nothing burger to me. These days you can dial up or down horsepower and torque from a lap top computer. Installing a torque measuring device is pretty simple, it's an industry standard in many series and it helps to level the playing field.
What I will never understand are people think it just fine for one team or manufacturers to have an advantage over the whole field and dominate a series. Thinking it thru with that with that tilted competition, how boring would that get?
It's pretty much the same with the more horsepower people. The new car is hard to drive, how many Xfinity drivers have moved up and become a star...none. More horsepower isn't going to solve anything, the car was designed for the horsepower it has. All you have to do is read about all of the changes they made to the LeMans car to take out all of the things that made it hard to drive. Parts of the outside shell was about all that was left of the next gen.
