Ford's Indy Engine was a very strange design.
“Automobile racing is exciting because death is waiting around every turn.”
No. That is not what makes automobile racing exciting. Apparently you are not a fan, which is ok.
But you don’t get it.
The idea is to push the envelope. If you don't push it, you can't win. You can't even compete. At any moment anything can go wrong and your life is in danger every moment of the race. Yet in the face of that danger, you press the pedal to the floor and nothing else in the world exists.
If it weren't a very dangerous sport, then the sport would not have any more fans than the people who get a thrill out of watching a marathon.
