james c should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
We've just had the FJ regs completely re-written, alot of points clarified in an attempt to do exactly what Simon is suggesting, draw a line under what has gone on in development and say no more, this is it.
It's hard to be as specific as FF regs are when your dealing with several types of engines and a diverse range of chassis but the objective is the same.
I'm sure what is being suggested could be done but what a task! The FF regs state valve sizes, camshaft dimensions, minimum weights for components etc as do most regs that use a common engine. It could be done for the DFV for example but surely there would have to be agreed specs for BRM, Matra, Ferrari etc.
With appendix K you have all this in the homologation papers already, as was mentioned earlier you need someone to police it effectively.
With regard to "hot stuff" fitted to FJ's lets not mess with it too much it does seem to work rather well!
