Indeed, I like sports but they are strange. The higher the equipment to participant ratio gets the stranger. If you win because you purchased really expensive wheels who are you celebrating on the podium? Your checkbook? the engineer who designed the wheels?
Again, to be clear. I have no problem with any of this and if it is your thing than go for it. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Although I do like to watch F1 which is perhaps the strangest sport, almost like watching 2 states in an all out war.
