where the cars are STATE OF THE ART!

1. Unlimited use of tires/fuel/pitstops/etc.

2. Rules applied equally and fairly.

3. V12 engines allowed.

4. No 'spec series' requirements.

5. No 'cost savings' requirements.

6. Kind of like what F1 was like about 10 years ago....

...Thank you-know-who, kids.

Add no Driving to aids that. And their has to be some caps on costs im
afraid, or do you want a 10 car grid?

I'd rather see 10 real cars over 30 kit cars, every time.

Yeah but money spending would get aobslutley(sp) ridiculous that the
independant/private teams would be forced out, which they early have.
What happens when BMW/Toyota/Honda/Renault get bored of F1?
And the Lotuses and the Fortis and the Prosts and the Saubers, soon
the Williams-Heads and eventually even saintly ol Ron "buggering off
with sacks of sponsor's dosh" Dennis...

You do, even if you're too dumb to realize it: 56 years in the game,
despite the despicable bigoted rules buggering of the last 5.

What the hell are you talking about. Im not a Ferrari fan, never have

Im not a fan of the rules or the state of the sport either. I just didnt
agree with one of your "criteria"

Yes I have. Although I'm sure I did it last time they had a promo
campaign. I've filled the form in again - take this as an official
announcement that when I die they can have anything they find useful!

You mean like when Alesi and his V12 Ferraris couldn't best Michael

But Le Mans is not a *series*
