The thing with too much aero is that soon enough the cars start to look like insects.

Changing the subject a bit; Any of you guys here playing the Planetf1.com Fantasy F1 Team? We should have a league for R3v members only. Im WOCe30Racing in the Planet league. If any of you want to participate, just post it.

I joined just now, haven't joined any leagues yet though. User name Blokkade.

Massa mentioned about returning with super wide tyres like in the past. But F1 not interested I think.

As an alternative to extra aerodynamic grip?

Honestly, the power itself is a non-issue to me. All I care about is a very simple equation:

Power > grip

However it happens, that's what we need.

I totally agree that the cars look better overall, but the engines should be producing 1k+HP. Shit, my neighbor's car is 900+HP and F1 should not be any less than that.

The rule is a bit ridiculous but I do like consistency in helmet design creating an identity.

[ELVA164]

Ah well. I also like the new rule that drivers can't change helmet designs during the season. I always thought it was ridiculous how many times Vettel in particular would do that.

Looks like nothing sooner than 2017.

Fingers crossed for 2017 or maybe even next season re: that link I posted!

Thanks vbulletin for eating my post.

The 10 year old in me is certainly satisfied by the Ferrari concept. The main thing that bothers me about the current regs is the power unit. I don't mind the v6 if they were more lenient on the fuel flow, or just limit the overall fuel used instead. Let these suckers rev and sound like f1 engines.

[naplesE30]

To much indy car for my taste, wheels are to shrouded imho. So much for doing away with aero, and going more mechanical for grip. Just lift fuel flow limits and call it done.

[ELVA164]

Ewwewwewwewweww...What kind of rule changes though? Did they have some sort of rule set in mind?

Also, they molded the driver's helmet into the chassis?! :?

[E-Thirty]

Ferrari's vision of F1 if sweeping rule changes were done, but still realistic.




I can't argue with that. :p

Not related to this season, but the important players are in talks about bringing back manly 1,000+hp engines!
