I thought Formula 1 Cars had a bigger engine than a 1.6  :confused: :confused:

No doubt they will try and sell this for £35k  :signLOL: :signLOL:

Carl :happy2:

Richn83:
They do at the moment, but there is talk of a generic motorsport engine, to help cut down on the amount of resources used, and to lessen the amount of fuel used, search for the thread by RR.

DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
F1 Engines would be a very different design, and besides they will nearly all be hybrids next year anyway.

Serious talk about F1 Cars going 18" Wheels too.

Get this........with 18's they can go bigger brakes to keep the cost down!!!

Richn83:
Very true that the design would be very different, but cant help but feel that it wont stop people wanting a 1.6 VW engine as im sure the PR department can spin it off as having F1 breeding!

Also strange your interested in the brakes Dave   :grin: is the larger rotor size also going to help with the life of the brakes, now they have the heavier fully fuelled up cars?

DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
Yep apparently getting the desired performance from the diameter restrictions in the regs makes them uber expensive. by allowing them to be bigger by using bigger wheels makes em easier to make and cheaper - big brakes are cheaper....been telling people that for years  .. :wink:   :laugh:
