It is a natural evolution of racing, start with a friendly lawn mower free race, and 3 years later someone has a snowmobile engine souped up and shoehorned into a lawnmower..... And so the regulations have to start, and they only punish those wanting to have fun, the fellas with the snowmobile engine come with a bored out something that fits the rule but not the spirit, and so the fun fades away.
Just the nature of racing.
But I certainly know what you mean, Indy blew up upon itself just when it split into 2 different series, they won't ever have what they had when Unsers and Andrettis and older guys were duking it out and then they throw the fan base away by splitting into 2 groups, sheez.
Nascar lost it when the car of tomorrow came out and they all looked the same. No personality left. And they can't change a rule and get that back, they killed themselves, stick a fork in it.
F1 is losing it to the dictator that is running that show, and needs ever bigger bribes to fund his party lifestyle of excess. He's cut some long standing events because they didnt bribe him enough, and has threatened to cut the older tracks like Monaco. Sheez, talk about full of oneself....
I get excited about racing today, as its the big events on all 3 series; but it is no where near what it had been in the past.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
