its unlikely everything on the list will get through however alot will. The best way to look at it. 2001 car like speeds, in a 1994 car aeros package. It would certainly create alot more over taking, as the downforce reduction would come from under the car rather than the front wing, as it is now, which is why cars just cant overtake like they used to. Expect the technicians to get back most of it anyway. They are already within 5 to 10% of last year.

Without an aero package power would rule supreme. Ferrari and BMW will dominate

That reminds me. BMW just bought Sauber, so Williams is on their own for next year

It'll make F1 just like it was in the late 80s and early 90s before the safety crusade post Ratzenburger/Senna.

BTW, it looks like Williams will still have BMW next year, as BMW have admitted they'll have little chance of winning in their first year of running with Sauber, so will continue giving (very good) customer engines to Williams. Also, we'll have the new engines by then, so its possible we'll have a lot closer matches in engine stakes. Traditionally Cosworth should be the master of the V8! Cheesy

i can't comprehend having a side mounted standard gear box. at the speeds f1 cars travel you would need to have your hands on the wheel at all times. as for the manual tranny with clutch, if it was paddle shift it would be cool.
a single type of brake? you have to be joking
a single tyre manufacturer, they should be adding manufacturers if anything

I stand by the current gearing system. Nothing wrong with it, no need for a clutch peddal and no need to change it to standard gear stick. Distracts a driver and as Bman says the driver needs his hands on the wheel at all times. What alot of people dont get about formula 1, is just how fast these things take corners. And just how sensitive they are. Ironically i read somewhere that many people in the FIA survey answered they loved F1 because of its technology and innovations. How is sending the cars back 12 years catering to the fans? All they need to do, is fiddle with the aerodynamics a little. Because by the end of 2008, 2.5L V8's or not the engineers will have those things going round corners almost as fast as they are now, and it'll be more dangerous thanks to these new regs. It always seems like they rush them in without ever putting them to the test. Why not get a team, BMW Ferrari or Mclaren for instance to build a car to those specs, and have the test driver take it out for 1000 miles before 2008. See what the results are then decide.

i assume that will be at the FIA's financial expense

When I say "just like Champ Car", I mean there will be alot of teams that will drop out, and the series is going to lower in prestige.

AAAAAAH! I HATE MONEY.

Lets just all live like in the John Lennon song, "Imagine".
BTW, NOT communist propaganda talking here.

I just realized why there is always so much dispute in F-1. Every personality involved is: 1very compettitive. 2 comsumed by their own egos.

More advice from songs "Why can't we be friends?"

I am on an "origional thought roll". I must be getting tired, and all the sudden, my thoughts are organizing themselves after a busy day of ADD thinking
