it's all in your first paragraph....... CART died because of it... they managed to turn the fans away, and this approach could kill this series too, is not as if it was the most watched series, or the most important one... i love motorsport, but i can't bother to compromise myself to watch this series because of some of the stuff you mentioned.. when they're on i can watch, but i don't follow their calendar or anything, and i love watching any series, Moto Gp, F1, Nascar, WRC.... i can't imagine how it is for the regular John who just wants to have some fun.
and to add to all, if someone just runs wide they bring out a yellow flag to kill all the anticipation and battles and it stays yellow for 3 laps minimum
