Tight regulation in F1 and other racing forms keeps the focus on the driver, not the car. F1 has always been about the car, and the most heralded of driver in one car often becomes completely humdrum in another, and vice versa. Tight regulations simply change the parameters that the car makers have to optimize, and ultimately came about because without continually restricting the engineering, the cars were becoming impossibly fast. The only series that are really about the driver have identical cars. I believe that is how the Formula E thing is planned, for instance, at least to begin.
