New F1 rules that work.

[sweetmate]

Thought id start this topic as clearly F1 rules for most teams drivers fans aren't working and there is no proper thought process on the prose and cons of everything.

Makes me laugh going on about fuel saving when you have 50 to 100,000 people traveling to watch the races mostly with cars helicopters etc the whole race circus for one event probably uses up more fuel then all the cars racing all year by miles. But i understand the point in trying to develop new technologies for the future which i think is great but better allowing that to develop in other ways.

heres some ideas I'm going to throw out there

Engines: sound st firstly and are too expensive for the teams. Rules are also restrictive.

Cost cap on 100,000 per power unit for everyone max 1 engine per race weekend when a manufacturer has an engine anyone can buy it prices fixed parts all transparent on price. Engine is unlimited revs etc except for max 2.4 litres normally aspirated all form of power recovery unlimited. Have to sort the rules so that engine hasn't got massive manufacturer subsidy hidden behind the price i.e. to manufacture the engine won't cost more then 100,000 in parts prices etc.

Bring back 1 allocation of a spare car per team and bring back testing only reserve drivers can test the car away from race weekends and the engine has to be a used unit after a race weekend allow some constructive testing but not millions of miles pounding round far batter then it all going on simulators back at the factory. Test days are better for young up and coming drivers better for spectators and for sponsors then a machine in a factory.

All formula 1 money to be spread equal between all teams including freight etc and prize money given to top 3 finishes 50% to go to the driver to try and even out the prize money for low paid skilled drivers coming in who drive a good race. Team prize not to large so as a team that successful doesn't gain a too big advantage.

All cars get 100 litres of fuel for a race thats it or come up with a amount that works no fuel flow limit.

Ban all live data logging of the car to the pits only what is allowed is gps data showed on FIA cameras of throttle break engine revs and speed. Data allowed when car is obviously in the pit garage.

Im sure other can come up with stuff just started the ball rolling for discussions .

Also cars need to be made harder and more challenging to drive like in the old years.

i never said get rid of data logging what i said was it being live streaming to the pits with loads of analysts sitting there monitoring it and informing the drivers where there losing out that should be about the driver figuring it all out. but there trying to stop that with radio ban chatter.

GP2 pole position lap time is the same as the tail end of the F1 cars that shouldn't be the case.

this is all hypothetical guys.

2 to 2.5 million for an engine package for the season I'm sure its enough. R&D is up to the engine manufacturers keeping the engine unit price low will naturally stem the R&D going to ballistic. go and see what there spending across the pond in USA and in the DTM see what you get for your money. Allot of the DTM engines are manufactured by UK small companies.

they need to create it so the smaller teams are sustainable financially also helps for keeping the big teams in the sport. Also open up the engineering so creativity can allow lower teams the chance.
