Fair Car Racing.

Are there any elite car races, were all cars are exactly the same and the driver is the main denominator of who wins the race.
In Formula 1 for example the same team generally wins most weeks because they've got the best car at the time and not necessarily the best driver.

All drivers in the American NASCAR Cup Series drive the Next Gen car:

All drivers in Formula E drive the Gen3:

Interesting question. In a similar vein I wonder how fast today's record holder would run a mile wearing the same shoes and kit on a similar track as Roger Bannister.

Well there used to be the A1 Formula but that died a death. No one is more bored than me with F1 currently but your suggestion has been tried and no one watched.

Its a bitter pill to swallow when some of the biggest names in the motoring world are shown the way by a soft drinks company :-)

Nascar I don't get, cos it's just going around in circles. I've seen Formula E on TV, but assumed it was the same as F1, as in certain cars are better than others.

I guess people are following the team as much or maybe more than the actual driver which is fair enough, but it's hard to believe there isn't an audience for finding out the best driver, rather than best car.
