I dunno guys,.. ive said it a couple times when F1 articles come up.. Id like to see F1 go down to 4 cylinders. F1 was always about innovation and technology. always. 4 cylinders are the inevitable end to the ICE. the last cars that will be sold on this planet that run on ICE will have 4 cylinder small engines; like the Volt. Ferrari wants to comply with euro emission targets and is going green. just about every car company today is going green in one way or another. Hector, lets just assume for one minute that going green isnt a fad. wouldnt Ferrari and Toyota, Honda, and others gain a lot from an F1 series that requires 4 bangers?If youre afraid of making the sport any less manly, lets look to WRC for just one moment. they run 2.0L engines making 350 hp. If we look back to the Group B days (group B cars had a production requirement of 200, instead of 25,000, and had fewer technological restrictions), we remember cars like the ford RS200. 450 bhp at 23 pounds boost, from a 1.8L 4 banger. that was almost 30 years ago.Im more than confident that in the last 30 years, weve gained the technology to boost that 450 bhp to the 800 hp F1 levels. sure, theyll have to run turbos, but given the latest headlines that youve read on this site; wouldnt you agree that the future of automotive power will come from increasing boost and technology in ever smaller engines?there are tuners getting 900 hp out of STis and EVOs. why wouldnt Ferrari or Toyota be able to do the same with their 400 million dollar budgets? Personally i think youre selling the series short by insisting that for the next 10 years, everyone has to use the same 3L v10 engine. if F1 teams dont have to WORK ON ENGINE DESIGN FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS what the hell are they going to do? theres over a billion dollars invested into F1 every year, and theyre spending that money to develop engines that no one will ever use.put the development money to good use; make them use a 4 banger. how reliable will our production 4cyls be when that day comes? heres another idea; you can put in a hybrid system in the car and we wont even change the weight restrictions. if you wanna make a lighter car and shove a heavy electric motor in there, then that just gives you a better advantage. same weight of car, more power, more efficient.green tech sucks because the only R&D that the auto companies have is US.if anything, forcing 800 bhp from a 2L 4 cyl engine will be nothing shy of entertaining with all the break downs. and then maybe more people would watch.
