Can F1 take a leaf out of Touring Car's book??

[Tristan]

The British Touring Car Chapionship has implemented ne rules this year with the aim of making racing more EXCITING. This in turn should boost TV ratings and see manufacturers return.

What they have done, however, is quite interesting:

1. reduced aerodynamic aids, such as spoiler size etc.
2. Allowed coupe's etc. not just saloons
3. reduced engine power and displacement
3. allowed more modifications to the actual bodywork/chassis (most importantly WIDER TRACK)

and, most interestingly of all

4. STANDARDIZED PARTS. Things like the foot pedals and other stuff (can't remember waht, anyone know??) have been STANDARDIZED so that the ENTIRE FEILD runs parts that are exactly the same, regardless of manufacturer. COULD THIS WORK IN F1?? IS IT A GOOD IDEA?? IS IT THE RIGHT DIRECTION TOGO??
