spiral.out 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2015 These are the steps that need to be taken next season to repair this sport (plus some comments on current issues) Financial No restrictions on spending, but publish team budgets Development No restriction on development of any part of the package at any time throughout the year No restriction on track testing or any other form of development testing Tyres Number of compounds produced by manufacturer reduced to a total of two Both compounds to be used at each race Increase tyre width to increase mechanical grip reliance Engines Maximum of 10 engines per annum Engines used in Practice Sessions on GP weekends do not count toward total and cannot be used in the race Maintain current energy systems and energy deployment methods, electric is the future Remove turbos to enhance the sound Return to 8 cylinder engines Fuel Re-instate refueling Restrict maximum fuel flow rate No limit to total fuel consumption Aero Limit maximum down-force levels (this reduces interference with following cars) Relax restrictions on wing layout etc Allow teams to push boundaries and dont ban things like blown defusers all the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmcee 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 I've always said if they widen the tyres and allow the front wings to be lower to the ground with a wider chassis to create more mechanical grip, they could do away with drs all together as it will allow cars to be driven harder and faster and slipstreaming would be alot easier to follow as you could get alot closer due to the wings being lower to the ground, it would create less turbulence.

Emmcee 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Cars in 1997 where at the peak of mechanical grip IMO, return to that similar chassis with today's power plants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmcee 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Just watch the lap from Schumi at Belgium 1997. Just look at the turn in speed on the onboard corners, it's phenomenal not to mention the sound. Could you imagine those running again? You can see just how much control Schumi needs compared to today's drivers. Awesome footage. Most beautiful Ferrari ever made IMO, looks and sounds fantastic.

Emmcee 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2015 How good is the turn in speed and all the adjustments needed to keep the thing on the road? It just sticks, the tyres are unbeleivable. Just his confidence in that thing is incredible not to mention the sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmcee 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2015 If they could move back to that era of racing, that's formula one and 1997 was the last season it was truly that. 1998 saw a raft full of changes that has been contagious for every season since. They go on about how they haven't had a fatality since senna due to car safety, that's bs. Cars wouldn't be much safer nowadays it's the circuits that have improved the most. Senna's accident was just a freak accident, that same incident could happen now and have the same affect. Almost did with felipe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
