I really can't agree with the synicism I read. OK it is a monopoly by SkyFord to get steel cranks identified but isn't this a good way to preserve the 'one-ness' that's FF? So many Formulae have gone down the pan by modifications taking them through the £roof (down, then up, bit of a mix of mets..) all in an £uncontrolled way. OK, there are business interests involved here - anyone can see that - but there is also a great traditional interest being properly kept under control. Standard engines lead to even racing. Good even racing that's been going 40 years and thanks to those movers and shakers who have understood our concerns (my last crank blow-up even took part of the gearbox with it) have got together and are making sure it will carry on for a fair few more. It might sound I'm creeping but I ain't, I say thanks guys.
