F1 Engines in WEC in 2014?

[Alfie Noakes]

I have just read on Joe Sawards blog a reort that the magazine Racecar Engineering is saying that the FIA is going to allow the new turbo F1 engines into F1 in 2014.

Seems a good idea on the face of it but I don't think Mr Judd is jumping for joy.

I just wish they would sod off with all this regulation stuff and let the engineers decide what engines they want to design/build.

with this kind of bullst, we would never have had:

I-4's
Flat 4,6,8,10's
V-6,8,10,12,16's (with angles from 60 to 120 degree's)
H-16's
W-12's

this is supposed to be motorsport, not granny's car goes racing, why stifle engine development?

Yeah, totally agree. Remember the last time this happened with the 3.5L N/A engines for the GroupC WSC....????

Would be a disaster for the WEC...

They dont have to use F1 engines... max capacity up to 5 litres so plenty of scope for engineers to work magic. Hybrid will still be the way forward plus Porsche back in 2014
