Boys,
This sounds like someones (Max/Berni) wet dream.  No refueling???  No
testing???  Three races per engine???  F1 is doomed.

Ron Grable

The worst part about it is this silly 2009 wing Formula 1 rear wing (2nd pic).
My guess is for every pound of down force you get one pound of
drag. The least thing the FIA could do is make it optional as some
track times will be faster without it.

If they want to reduce turbulence so drivers can pass they
are going to have to reduce all sources of down force. Down force
or lift for that matter causes an increase in turbulence no matter
how it is generated. The angle of the belly pan diffuser can be limited
to limit down force from that source. There will always be some
turbulence behind the car no matter what. The best way to have passing
is let the engineers innovate.

The best way to cut fuel burn is use a high mounted wing as
wide as the car. In other words higher aspect ratio rather than
a lower aspect ratio as this wing is. Same on the front wing. This picture (1st pic) is of a Formula A or Formula 5000 car that Ron Grable drove equipped with a high mounted front wing. If it is too high it raises the CG and cuts low speed grip. If you want to reduce downforce from a wing use an area limit such as two square feet.

Car racing is just that. >>>CAR<<< racing!! It is everything from the car design through the driver. If you turn it into a spec class like NASCAR it is no longer car racing. It is bumper cars or a driver circus and a waste of good gasoline. Count me out.
