NASCAR, we should not talk about. That is a totally different kettle of fish. Their racing is different, it's purely a spectacle and their cars are very basic compared to what you have in F1 or IRL or champ car. As for IRL, God damn Tony George, and his cocaine trips, he destroyed what was once a great racing series, the PPG Indycar world Championship, which almost rivalled Formula 1. That all changed in the mid 90's and I think Jacques Villeneuve was the last driver to win the title in 1995 when it was actually a very competitive series. After that it split into two. Anyway, my point being that, they in the IRL don't even race in the wet, so should we do the same? They have manual shifting, i think F1 should adopt that too, like it was in the 80's.
I just don't see the point of banning tire warmers. What is being achieved by doing so, How much is being saved? A driver going out on a cold damp track with wet cold tires, on a track likie Spa, where it almost always rains at some point during the GP and going through Eau Rouge or at Blanchimont, which to me along with the double apex left hander hander at the Turkish track and the 130R at Suzuka, is the most fearsome corner in F1, and going off! That will result in a huge and bad accident. Just my opinion.
Budget cap should have been implemented long back in F1, before the car giants pumped in money and pushed the costs through the roof, but it cannot be done by having a two tier system where teams using less money are allowed things like a "flexi" wing. Besides that, FIA need to address other issues like the one we had this year, the DD diffuser. What happens to the budget cap if something like this comes up again? Not having clear rules and then making teams design diffusers that cost upwards of £5 million in order to be competitive.
Having to make races interesting artificially is not something i want. I don't care if there was zero over taking in a race, as long as it was a good, hard fought tactical race. One race that comes to mind straight away is the Hungarian GP of '98. There was hardly any over taking on track, but look up it's details and you will see what i mean. The modern F1 tracks do not allow for much over taking anyway. Once we go to a track like Spa, you will see these very cars pass others on track just like cars did in the previous years, and if the idea was to have more over taking then why allow the DD diffusers on these cars, and in Toyota's case it's a triple diffuser!! That stuff disturbs the air and another car cannot follow closely. Lastly on over taking, there are driver who can pass and there are drivers who cannot. Check you tube for Juan Pablo Montoya, and see what he did in cars that had a lot more down force and people thought it was impossible to pass another car. You will find him over taking a car even at Monaco, on that tiny thing they call the start finish straight. There was a reason, Sir Frank Williams used to call him " my pass master" and led him to famously say " Juan Pablo can see an over taking opportunity like no one else on the grid. Eight of the ten passes he puts on people are not even visible to others, including-Michael Schumacher"
As for my idea, i appreciate it that you like it so much. Now that your idea has been stolen, i give you my idea:D register it quickly and seee what you can make of it. Don't let this oppurtunity pass by:P
Okay my sermon has finishedB-)
