one question comes to mind about that link Pingguest.
Haug is paraphrased as saying the current F1 engine suppliers are concerned about "revolutionary rule changes" and are looking for stability post 2012. certainly relevant concerns but my question is wont Mercedes, Renault, Ferrari, and Cosworth all be making their own GRE for the other series they are involved in anyways? obviously matching the new engine to a F1 chassis will require some serious rethinking/spending etc, but really how costly would changing be particularly if they can call upon the budgets of their other series to help average out the costs of developing the GRE? surely it cant be more expensive than their move from a v10 to v8? |

I would take a V6 turbo, they would sound lush.

I like turbo V8s; the Cosworth DFX was a great engine.

Just for the hell of it, and to remind everyone what a racing car should look like!
This was a race car! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT6bJ...eature=related 5.4 litre flat 12 turbo 1500bhp! Global racing engine be damned! |

As it was linked by its author, I read this document about what regulatory framework motor sports in general and Formula 1 in particular should have.
http://www.divergentgovernance.co.uk...Governance.pdf Motor sport should adopt a divergent governance, resulting in the current geometric framework being replaced by a parametric framework. The author proposes a 'hybrid' parametric framework for Formula 1. The document absolutely worth complete reading. |

There are complex solutions, but another idea has already been mentioned - 5.4 litre flat 12 turbo 1500bhp!! Try going to a race and not being blown away when that thing is screaming around! |

For Formula 1 the author proposes a 'hybrid' framework: instead of mandating a number of cylinders or a specific capacity, the FIA should only reduce fuel consumption. Instead of mandating specific tyre dimensions, the FIA should only limit the number of tyres available. This would propose economy, efficiency and longevity. For a full understanding of this document, mathematical insight or knowledge may be useful. However, even I as a law student managed to understand the principles lied down in the document. |
