Yes that beast when mixed racing was allowed. I dont know how the fuel flow limitations are different from now till then but i assume boost is restricted and flow and these new engines will be around 650bhp?
It will change the racing dynamics as i assume they wont need to be the top engine all of the time to produce peak power? |

Merc are predicting 700+ the 1.5l that ran at the 82 US GP [ i think it was] had some very trick engine mods that are now banned, shame really as they were making 1000bhp back then.

KERS will be a major factor if we can get it reliable, the batteries are still a pain in the arse to keep cool. The 50kg fuel loss will help with balancing them out though. Wont have to be so tightly compact.

I would think so, i know it has plagued you guys for quite some time now
Thats a very important defensive and offensive weapon that if it didnt work is quite a burden to be lugging round and with the power increase would be devastating not to have it. Personally i'm not keen on it in racing but i can see where they are going with it. |

You do realise we all build launch cars, then the race cars right?

But doesn't stop us general public from getting excited at the nice new designs It's just nice to see a better nose and sidepods on a ferrari again; i'm sure the front back and sides will all be different by Australia. |
