You think they race with antique technology? It's all cutting edge stuff and it makes it's way to the dealer's floor.

The reciprocating piston engine, that ridiculous, outmoded, inefficient relic of the nineteenth century? Poor dears!
What do engines with hundreds of horsepower and cars that go 300kph have to do with reality? They are comic book candidates.

All that technology gets put into your engine and gives you better performance and gas mileage. Same with suspension, handling, tires, electronics, etc. Racing isn't for everyone, I don't watch it except for motorcycle races and that's been a while. But nothing is outmoded until something better comes along.
