I've been saying that since the mid 90's and here we are lol.....

my new formula would be:

3.0 Litre DOHC 5 valve per cylinder max twin turbo V10.

Or upto 8 Litre naturally aspirated, any configuration.

Free aero, apart from front and rear wing wake and air disturbance massively reduced.

Full ground effects floor, tunnel and diffuser allowed.

No kers or any other device of this nature.

alcohol based fuel.

minimum two tyre manufacturers.

cockpit equalised so that no driver is held back by weight or size.

Larger tyres, much different profiles, probably 18"

If full ground effects were allowed back (sliding skirts, tunnes... etc) the cars would have tiny wings anyway, regardless of rules.

I think the old 1.5 turbo or 3.5 na is the way to go, but leave the piston count and layout free. The turbo tech that would come out of low capasity engines would be great

by the looks of the rule changes...i dont think i'll be watching after 2013 anyways. so they can all do what they like

good point. I figure if I up my alchol consumption by about 30% I will soon forget all the WDC results from 1985 to 2000 and I can then just re-warch those 15 years of F1 over and over again...

yeah agreed. 3l turbo and 8L na is waaay too big. get them to make a max 1.5L turbo or 3L na as the maximums. they can easily get 800hp-1000hp from either 1.5L turbo or a 3L v10 NA so then they get to chose reliability (800hp) or power (1000hp). or spend more and have both!

if really generous up it to 2L turbo and 3.5L NA. that is plenty.

I like the idea of cockpit rules though and perhaps raise min weights so that fat drviers aren't penalised! lol. i'm sure there's some talented fatties out there... would surely help webber to be on an even keel weight wise with vettel. he is giving away probably half a tenth per lap in body weight penalty alone.

....actually the way Raikonnen is going on the tooth he might need an extra widebody F1 car if he makes a come back.

I wonder what mods they made to get Tony Stewart in the MP4-23 did they graft the A to B pillars from a BA Falcon with a seat located in the middle to fit him in? It would have left room for space to sit a pizza, a couple of burgers and cupholders for a big gulp.

I would love to see more taller/bigger drivers have a shot at F1 but realistically it is a sport for rich midgets.

then i'd def be watching. :)

sadly.....very unlikely

I'd be happy to keep the current capacity, what is it 2.4L? They can make plenty of power from that capacity these days. But allow whatever configuration they want to run as far as how many cylinders etc, and have no rev limit.

It could give some more variety in the field, the way its going it will be a common pretty much everything ala V8 Supertaxi's in a few years.

No rev limit could potentially reward teams willing to push the limits of engine reliability if they can hold them together. I don't see the problem with that because they already get penalised for using too many engines anyway, so why not let them push the envelope of reliability?

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
