"I think all tracks should have sprinkler systems, which could be turned on before a race. Just before the start they should be turned off to let the track dry out naturally. Drying tracks always provide entertaining Grands Prix and it will be compulsive viewing for the fans." --- John Watson :shakehead :saywhat:
And then, we could have them reverse direction halfway through the race and run the track backwards. Yeah! That's the ticket! That would level the playing field for sure! And then we could make the points leader drive with one hand tied behind his back! Yeah! That's the ticket!
What a joke.

Methinks you got some stray characters in the link, rabbit. Try this instead.

P.S. He's not really serious about the sprinklers, is he?

I think they should have a big-ass windmill in the middle of every frontstrecth... ya know, the one with the tunnel at the bottom like a putt-putt course? They'd have to time it so their car isn't sliced in half as the blades swing in front of the tunnel.
Then on the last lap they'd have to procede up a giant ramp, launch thru the air, and try to land in the nose of a huge clown face (fashioned to resemble Max Mosley's countenance) painted on the main grandstand. It would be the s****, man...

Dude, that would be so awsome (puff puff). You should come over to my place ths weekend and we'll build a test track in my backyard. You bring the beer, I'll bring the umm, well other stuff. :D
rabbit is on to something
Goofy rules won't cover up a basic failure in the formula.
In the past the F1 regs have been reset to radically alter the performance parameters of the series. Hence the change from 2.5l to 1.5l and the subsequent change from 1.5l to 3.0l NA/1.5l pressurized.
The current formula is screwed and only remains since the build and development programs are fixed on 3.0l NA V10s.
Change the regs and make a new era of racing before it is too late.

Hey for years I have made the same suggestion on the boards (as a joke of course).
