Re: Team Orders
I think people get upset because it's not racing, it's more like WWE. People pay to see the cars race. It wasn't too bad when there are just a couple of small teams but when you can have an all Don Schumacher semi-final, for instance, people should be able to have confidence that they're seeing two real races in the semis and the final, not just an automotive ballet.
Staged results can kill the sport if the fans lose cofidence.
Edit: to clarify, this is only about taking a dive for a teammate. I see nothing wrong with trying to get a particular opponent on the ladder to have a shot at a championship.
