To be fair, current F1 cars are not exactly a prime example of good looking race cars.

Re: Info Wing

As well as the more advanced illuminated info shown on the Ferrari above, at races like Le-Mans, a simple collection of 3 lights on the side of the car are used to indicate the top three positions in each class. Simple but perfect tech.

Hi all. Some help needed please. Me and a mate have got hold of a load of disco equipment and will be running discos mainly for children from 5 years up to mid teens I would think. We just can't think of a suitable name to use for the disco that would fit that age range

F1 needs to take a long hard look at the way DORNA produces the MOTO GP racing. I'm not simply saying this to compare the two sports on track, after all, MOTO GP is way ahead of F1 in terms of drama, and MOTO 3 destroys it even further imo. MOTO 2 is also incredibly fun to watch at any circuit. Howe...

Re: 14 cars OR 20 cars but no Ferrari

If Ferrari left and did no other big name motorsport then it would not be too much of a problem, however, if they left and pumped in all their resources to Sportcar racing with a full factory team, it could be a different matter for F1 with a huge number of fans moving across to watching that instead.
