Look how fast Indy cars go, and look at how little actual racing there is. They could easily let these cars go around there without plates, but it'd be nothing but follow the leader with the only passes coming when somebody pits or when somebody wrecks. Then again they could also easily slow these cars down to about 125-135 and you'd have the same thing follow the leader with little to know actual racing passes. The way the COT and the Spoiler cars are built they are "happy" at Dega/Tona around 175-185, and more or less and they are not "happy", and when the cars aren't "happy" neither are the fans.
