While I agree that F1 racing has benefitted greatly from advances in materials technology & design, there is another motor sport that would not exist without the present day advances in materials technology, engine efficency engineering, shock engineering, and most notably, CA-design: Monster Truck racing.
While it was possible 10 years ago to jump a jacked-up truck over cars, today's MT can do 50+mph wheelstands over semi-truck trailers, and land, more than once! We're talking 5 tons of highly engineered vehicle, including 6' tires, repeatedly bouncing over things at speed.
