This is the proposal by FIA to spice up F1.What do you guys think about it? Will it work?Top of the list of measures the sport's governing body would like to introduce are 2.4 litre V8 engines that must last two races.
The FIA also want to see the return of manual gearboxes and manually operated clutches.
Power steering and electronically controlled differentials would be scrapped while all cars would be fitted with standard electronic control units and braking systems.
Aside from the technical changes, the FIA also want to see a number of alterations to F1's sporting regulations.
Cars will be held under parc ferme regulations for the entire race weekend with spare cars banned.
There would be restrictions on testing, with limits imposed on mileage rather than the number of days. This would be enforced by monitoring the standard electronic control units.
There would be a single tyre manufacturer, with the supply contract being overseen by the FIA.
If the FIA gets its way, a new, as yet unspecified, qualifying system will be introduced.
But perhaps most interestingly of all, there will be no restriction on the sale or loan of chassis and components between teams. This opens up the possibility of the likes of Minardi buying and running the previous year's Ferrari or McLaren.
New entries will be encouraged in a bid to swell the F1 grid to a maximum of 12 teams.
Personally I think, this rule will at least encourage competition because everyone have to start from the beginning.Especially the totally new engine formula(2.4l V8) and a complete ban on electronics.But I'm not sure about engine that last 2 race though,because it sounds like a cheap low class race.
Nevertheless it would be interesting to see a complete new engine, a completely new aero regulation,total ban on electronic and new qualifying system.But whatever it is,I hope that F1 will stays at the top of technology level whatever the regulation is.
Michael Schumacher said something need to be regulate about the engine because,at the rate the development is progressing right now,he said in 2 years they would be at 1000bhp.Maybe 2.4l V8 will work.
Still in 1000bhp issue,if I'm not mistaken,not long time ago,F1 cars were at 1000bhp but competition still exist.So what are the different between 1000bhp that day and 900bhp today where competition is nearly nil?And F1 car that day posses ground effect aren't they?And fierce competition still happened.But now..less hp,less downforce...and less competition?
So what if F1 is like this:
1)Super-safe monocoque (like they are now).
2)Super hp and downforce
3)Total ban on electronic and everything manually controlled
