Will this ever be a thing again?
Genuinely competitive race cars that also happened to be sold as normal consumer products?

The Viper

It wasn't so much that they sold racing cars for the road, it was more that they raced stock road cars.

The Type 35 was designed with competition in mind.

When will they professionally race stock road cars again?

Anybody can spend $200k on a kit car and drive it on the road if they want, depending on where you live.

For formula one, probably not. Rally racing is probably as close as it gets.
Even if you replace formula one cars with corvette styled cars it would be just as competitive.

F1 is a specialised, non-homologated race formula, so no.
> Endurance racing
Literally modified road cars
> Touring cars
Literally modified road cars.
> Single-make formulas
Literally modified road cars.
> Rallying
The bodyshells are the same. Mostly.
> NASCAR
Road cars passed that shit by decades ago, and we call that shit 'roundabouts' in the rest of the world.

The car you posted would in no way be competitive in GTLM. What you posted doesn't related to the thread.
Not to mention, the production Ford GT road cars are essentially vaporware.

Barely. The 911 GT3 RSRs have barely any relation to the 911 GT3 road cars. They never even came off of the same assembly lines.
The Bugatti Type 35 was EXACTLY the same in road and race guise. Maybe tyre pressures were changed, but that's it.

Pic related is supposed to out perform modern LMP1 and Formula One cars.
