I am officially an old geezer. What a boring video-game event these newer cars are.

Hold on and flap the paddles. No driver involvement what so ever.

Point - click - shoot.

Sad really. Other than sound, these new cars have nothing else to offer. And once they go electric even the sound will be gone.

I tend to agree with you, although, I think they tend to offer some reasonably sexy looks as well. Of course, neither of these beasts has anything on an F40 or a Pagani Zonda...or for that matter a 1965 GT40.

I also can't believe that Mclaren is letting the MP4-12C out with a flappy-paddle mechanism that sounds like something from a Playstation-ready steering wheel joystick. "Click" "Click" "Click"
