Yes but not till 2006... 2005 they will have a lot of aero mods to reduce downforce. So one more year of the V10s. I believe enough teams will complain that Mosley will have to bow down.

Hope so. I'd think Bridgestone and Michelin would be giving alot of grief real soon as well with the whole one tire manufacturer thing.

But that kinda sux.
Those V10s were like the cutting edge of engine development.
Oh well... I guess they could restrict a lot more and it would still beat the sh** out of roundy round race cars.
