I know all F1 and Indy cars are not the same but no one drives an Indy car or F1 car to the race.
I was not aware that the America Cup boats sailed to the location. I figured since it is a dedicated race boat that it was ferried to the location.
As far as the cars not being the same, I have the same issue with most professional sports that use a car/plane/boat or what ever. I am more interested in who is the best athlete in that particular sport than who has the best vehicle. That is why I prefer running, gymnastics, stuff like that. It's all about the person and their skill.
