Why do they have rules on maximum brake duct size. I thought this was an all out technology race? Or is it a spec series?

Why not have a simple set of rules and let them run. Spec tire dimensions (like now). Spec minimum weight. Spec minimum ground clearance. Spec all safety related stuff. Spec fuel and maximum engine size. Let them race. Who cares how many wings they run or the size of their brake ducts. It seems an odd compromise between technology demonstration and a tightly controlled series (NASCAR).
