New Proposals for 2008 from WMSC

I am So Sad.

A number of principles for cost reduction were agreed for the FIA Formula One World Championship.

The following aerodynamic testing restrictions will be applied from 2008:

• Teams to use no more than one wind tunnel.
• Test fluid to be air at atmospheric pressure.
• Maximum test section wind speed 50m/sec.
• Maximum model scale 60%.
• No more than one model to be tested during a run.
• Maximum usage to be equivalent to 15 runs per 8 hour day on 5 days per week for team F1 purposes. Tunnel may be contracted out at other times.
• Aerodynamic testing may only take place in wind tunnels if at reduced scale or at FIA approved test tracks if full scale. Full size testing to be subject to the F1 testing agreement.
• Full scale specific aerodynamic testing is to be reduced to 5 days/year.
• Restrictions will be imposed to stop shift of resource from wind tunnel testing to CFD.
• The number of people involved in CFD development will be limited to a number to be agreed.
• CFD computer systems will be characterised in order to set hardware performance limits but growth will be allowed year-on-year to allow for hardware / software development.

Other restrictions will be placed on Rig Testing, Design and Manufacturing, Suspension and Brakes, Hydraulic Systems, Bodywork, Weight Distribution, Circuit Testing and the number of personnel at races.

Re: New Proposals for 2008 from WMSC

If it continues like that, I think in few years a Dacia Logan Cup will be faster and technically more advanced than a F1...

Re: New Proposals for 2008 from WMSC

The thing is : how will they monitore teams to make sure they respect limitaions about CFD and Wintunnels ?

Re: New Proposals for 2008 from WMSC

Easy: the teams will spy each other and sue those who do not respect if they are faster... Could be a funny year

If this trend continues F1 cars will in ten years be reduced to go-karts.

Re: New Proposals for 2008 from WMSC

^ From when Mosley arrived we've lost active suspensions (= less mechanical grip, less aero efficiency, less balance), the clean aero (early 1990s wings and diffuser), slicks (witch will return), downforce (the production Caparo T1 will more of it), V10 power (close/equall to 1000 hp in 2005).


When will this madness stop ?!

Without the performance and the technology, F1 will become some idiotic star search and branding business.

Re: New Proposals for 2008 from WMSC

The automakers shouldn't have signed the Accord deal and instead they should have really launched the GPMA championship, even without Ferrari.
