Motorsports should include the equipment, not just the drivers in the competition. I'm looking at you NASCAR...

The problem with that is cost of entry gets out of control (ahem F1). Making all the machines similar or having other technical rules controlling costs allows more competitive entrants. Also, if one car is always the fastest, is there ever a reason to go watch the race?
