Cool. Just what is needed; two series without racing.

What about the new FIA rules? Two tires all weekend, reduced displacement,
aero package changes. Pretty drastic eh? Are they doing this to increase
competition, reduce costs, safety or maybe all of the above?

I was talking about the way they just delivered them to the teams in a
letter at one of the rounds. They also said (although this may have
changed, correct me if I'm wrong) that all teams had to go to
transverse-mounted inline 4cyl - which screws Subaru for no good
reason I can think of.

Does not the Enzo come stuffed with F1 tech?

And how many Enzos do you think will ever get driven on public roads?

A better question might be...of those Enzos that DO see the public
roads, how many will end up in the ditch?

I thought they were trying to make it like 1968 where the drivers were the
ones that won races and not technology. In those days they used one set of
tires for more than one race. Then again, what do I know?

with the upcoming WRC rules? I'd think those changes
are even more underhanded and arbitrary than anything done in F1
lately. The FIA certainly seems ready for a major shakeup.

Maybe we can then be able to get a licensed Grand Prix racing game back onto
the PC! Granting Sony sole rights to the games was a joke! They've had the
exclusive Formula One license for 1 or 2 seasons now and how many sims have
you seen?

What's the point? We've had Crammond's GP series and the ISI series up
to this year. With the exception of the qualifying rules, you pretty much
already HAVE a modern F1 sim. I'm not missing it any and I watch F1 every
Sunday it's on, often at 4:30 am due to my West Coast location.
