N/A, turbo, supercharged, nitrous, whatever. You get your power from burning gasoline. Isn't F1 going N/A to make the competition less driven by induction technology and more focus on a "plain motor"? How is F1's motivations anywhere near relevant to the average consumer driver?
I never said anything about cheating. Im just talking about direction. Chimchim seems to know where he's going. F1 motivations always trickle down to the consumer because its the cutting edge. where do you think VTEC came from? disc brakes? fuel injection? computer controlled engines? if this isnt consumer technology then I should be driving a 3 ton US SUV...
