Another poor season

[DOF_power]

Again, an honest question for you DOF - Do you think your ideas are likely to happen?

Only a few of them (the proposed movable rear wing for next year), return to turbos.
Overall slim to none.

One day maybe.

"Anti-marbling" rules.

Marbles have been with us since motor racing began. They are the normal result of tyre wear. The only I can see eliminating them is for all tyres to granite-hard.

A specific amount of marbling allowed for each of the 4 compounds. If a compound or aero packed exceeds the marbling allowed, instant ban plus fines.
Also rubber the track like they do in drag racing.

So let me get this right, and if I have got anything wrong in my summary I'm sure you will correct me, what you are looking for is:

-

Some overall direction.

The Lotus 88, Arrows A2 and ofcourse Swift 33 2012 Indycar concept.

That has the biggest spoiler in F1. The name "HONDA" on a car loses it half a second a lap!

They also used to be no. 1 during the turbo era.

Nottingham Forest were European Champions 30 years ago. The world keeps turning...

You're not still reminding us of that, are you Muddy?!

In all seriousness, I agree with you're sentiment Muddy. You're only as good as you're last race. 'Used to be' doesn't win you races. So, as TBY says, the letters H.O.N.D.A. on a car are probably costly! You just need to airbrush them into the letters B.R.A.W.N.

So basically you want to see a grid full of Batmobiles!

Still looks better then the current car.
I don't want all to look the same, and the batmobile stuff was made by Swift.
My points are semi-enclosed wheels, ground effects and movable pop up spoiler.

Semi enclosed wheels - surely that stops them going round.

Ground effects - "how was that for you honey?"

"Moveable pop up spoiler" - mother in law, perhaps?

Swift - was that Jonathan Swift who wrote Gullivers Travels - he was a bit of a satirist as well.

Are trying to be funny, or do you really enjoy these parades made in 1970 machinery ?!

Perhaps and yes
