I think you’re looking for Toyota’s WRC turbo restrictor cheat from the 1990s, which only activated when it was installed.

Ah yes, I just assumed it was F1. However, wasn't there an image of someone with their foot on their f1 car tipping it off or onto the scale for some reason? was that F1?

f1tv doesn't have any full races from 84 (cowards) but it does have 40 minutes of highlights from the detroit grand prix. pretty wild stuff so far, it's always cool seeing the crowd standing right at the barriers and just plain running for their lives as cars careen towards them and wheels fly off and poo poo

the time stamp on sunk dunk's video didn't work for me but i think that's what the link was to(?)

So is the FIA doing anything to address how insane car weights have become in any of the upcoming tech regs? I feel like a lighter car can add way more to the racing than any other gimmick

Probably not due to the nature of other rules:

  • Not introducing refueling, which means carrying a bigger fuel tank and a longer car
  • Keeping the hybrid system and it’s battery, which adds plenty of weight
  • Crash structures front and rear add length
  • Halo adds weight as well

It’s a shame, but I don’t see how it can change.

Get rid of DRS and all the actuation hardware for it, set a timeframe to remove the turbo as the hybrid powertrain can do a lot of what the turbo was for. Maybe shift away from batteries to capacitors or whatever.

carve slots in the track and make all cars get their power from that

every race one lucky fan from each team gets to control the speed using this:

I could see ditching the hybrid system after some time with the synthetic/carbon neutral fuel and seeing that they can consistently have enough of it.

The McLaren already makes a big fart noise as it drags itself around the circuit. Though this will be fixed with the Baku upgrades (which will welcome all of us), and the Papaya Boys will be good again.

redbull will be whining about the shallow slot being the reason their car constantly goes off the track instead of their lucky fan never using less than 100% throttle
