regardless id be happier to see irl f1 and champ combined into a 20+ round serioes around the world with encouragement for old teams like lotus and repco and more person based teams with only limited places for corporations even fi this means a mutual interest of ours (toyota) are one of the losers

Living in the past dude Razz

The 'philosophy' behind formula 1 has always been 'the best of the best'...fastest cars, fastest drivers, biggest technical innovations, biggest budgets. There is too much money getting in the way of change, thankfully it's starting to fall apart at the seams, and eventually it'll crash and die, and be replaced with a better formula that I hope has a more broad philosophy guiding it and hopefully Max Mosely (canot speel propery) and the other spodgy old farts high up in the FIA have nothing to do with it.

Quote:

bring back the days where it was about the drivers and not the computer power on board the car ( probably part fo the reason mark and mick suxors @ starts ) yet still encourage advancements like fans for downforce (even thou that example would be illegal)

There are so many factors as to why the races are boring these days, and to be honest, drivers is one of them! The drivers are all ridiculously accurate, and ridiculously fast - what usually decides a race is tenths of seconds found in aerodynamics, mechanical setup and strategy. Of course - drivers face fewer challenges these days, they have unprecedented levels of mechanical and 'aerodynamic' grip, highly advanced traction control and fully sequential transmissions - but that doesn't mean they are crap by any measure.

Quote:

also introduce several longer range events that go for 6 hours at traditional and famous courses aroudn the world that have died or are dying

Again, the reason that these tracks aren't used is because of finances, to change the cars significantly for one or two events is going to cause huge budgetry problems for the team - because the technical regulations don't really enforce a minimum spec for how strong/heavy the suspension components need to be, how much load the cars have to take etc etc, the modern cars simply can't survive even one lap around tracks like the old Nordschleife circuit, or one run around Bathurst.
