Have we hit the limit on how fast cars can go?
10 years ago the quickest racing cars ever created by the human race (2004 f1 cars) were -blam!- every track record they went to, however since then F1 (and lmp1) have stalled or even gotten slower, I mean sure a few red bulls set one or two track records but that was with ultra sticky slicks. And whenever F1 cars find speed the Fia cuts them back (same with lmp1), so have we hit the limit on how fast racing cars will ever go with efficacy now taking the leading road?

I think so. Everyone is all about safety now.

I don't think so. I believe they are as fast as they can go within the rules packages for every racing branch, but mostly to keep the safety, cost, and competition levels in line. But I know that in certain series, the cars have more in them if the governing race bodies would deem it acceptable to allow the cars more power or different technologies to be employed. But when doing so, racing suffers. There always seems to be 1 team that rise to the top because of deeper pockets and ability to push the technology much more so than their competitors. Racing then stagnates. Then again, maybe the have reached the limits of the tires.
