How great is it to see cars on slicks again

Marvellous. Now, just need to get rid of those hideous shelves all over the front wing and side pods..

saw that photo on autosport.com and smiled.. it's great. Strange how such a small change makes them look like a "proper" racing car again.

It's amazing how much better the cars look, just by getting rid of those stupid grooves.

Is F1 going back to slicks? Did I miss something?

Hope they are! slicks = racing

And yeah, aero aids have gotten silly.

I'd never have thought it would make such a difference!

Some of us want to see racing. The wing surface area needs to be halved at least. I'd introduce a rule that says; one wing surface area only and one wing and the front and rear. And that's your lot.

fingers X'd for 2009 then.

Aaaaace! I'd heard it speculated but did not know it was a sealed deal!
Too much aero has been a big factor in the dullness of F1, more tyre grip and less aero would mean same lap times but closer racing.

It's not a sealed deal yet, still just a proposal.

I'm glad I'm not the only one on at the sight of a slick shod modern day f1 car!

Any chance they'll be rushed through for next year?

Yes, you know you're right, that was the clear inference from what I said..

And when they reduce the wings a bit it might be as interesting to watch as these were..

Lets hope they're a bit better to look at!
