What happened? Cant we see utter carnage on a human level any more? I rather liked that we maintained a gladiatorial element to our society, like we had these super humans without fear.
Ubermenschen for the modern age.

You can't beat open wheelers on ovals for the genuine possibility of violent, fiery death.
Dan Wheldon had balls of steel, and they cost him his life. RIP Dan :bow:

Except Jorge, perhaps.
This is a good one for casualty-less carnage.

The people getting hurt bit is just a statistical inevitability. I know they currently are risking their lives, I'm just asking for some more jeopardy. It used to be infinitely more fun when there was a genuine edge about it. It's lost that.

They don't box, drive or play for their livelihood or name anymore, they're doing it for money and nothing but money.
