2010 Car Design.

If re-fueling is indeed banned and the cars are 200mm longer then that would also indicate the RB5 style could be the way to go. Its already the longest car on the grid.

I find it odd that on a post like this that no-one has said anything concerning the published 2010 cap regs with its AWD KERS, which alone makes KERS worth keeping IMHO, and the adaptive wings.

I know the hundreds of posts about why the 2010 published cap regs should/shouldn't be kept, but I must say that I sincerely hope that Max wins on this one. The cars that come from those regs would truly be pinnacle level technology, and quite possibly the coolest looking cars in the history of F1.

PS: And the DDD is not the culprit when it comes to no overtaking... Actually, the ICA hearing stated that there was evidence provided that said that it actually HELPED the following car more than a conventional design.

If you want to ban something to increase overtaking, look to the race-fuel qualifying. What does anyone expect when the cars are lined up, fastest to slowest while carrying race fuel loads and then locked away in parc-ferme? As if the car is going to miraculously gain that 1s/lap advantage that is necessary to overtake...

The KER's advantage looks like it will disappear :-

So although the regs will let the teams use it, the manufactures are not going to supply it to anyone, so it i think it will just disappear from racing.

Or that’s what it looks like at the mo

Enter Flybrid... Or possibly the Williams' solution.

How awesome is it going to be that the FOTA cried and whined about the "two-tier" championship, but then agree to not run KERS.

That means that if Williams, FIF1, Campos, USGP and the other team (cant recall the name) all choose to run Williams' KERS in 2010, we will STILL GET A TWO TIER CHAMPIONSHIP!

I an starting to regret digging so deep into F1. I find it was much more enjoyable before I knew about all of the bullsh*t that really determines the Championship.

It was much better for me when it was just cars on screen fighting it out........

i think williams had the problem of the KERS being too heavy, but i would not be surprised if anyone runs it the FOTA teams will dust off theirs too and run them. But do belive it will just die out

Problem is who is going to develop the KERS to work and still keep your budget in the cap? 40 mil is peanuts compare to what they spend now and thats for a whole lot of the work that they do now. Williams is not even racing it now, whos to say some portion of the money split from a few times will get it to work for all of them, with all diversely different packaging constraint....Toyota is comparing their KERS program being similar to an all new engine program in terms of expenditure, no one can really afford to be playing with that with a cap....

It will never work until the power delivered outweighs the weight penalty.

... Or until they realize that using AWD KERS can possibly allow them for pre-set wheelspin bursts to warm the tyres in a time that warmers are banned...
