Formula One 1.6l V6 turbo engine formula

Let the small teams run with the V8s, that would be nice!

Yea just enforce a rev-limit on the engines like when they switched to V8´s.

Keep the limit on fuel-flow, 27.8 g/s, and let them run whatever the want.

Yes !

(I think this was suggested (by me ) in another thread).

It was actually suggested by Keith Duckworth already in the mid-80s, if Balestre had understood it, then who knows?

[Red Schneider]

But no one wants to be wrong. I suspect that everyone is at least a little fearful of such an open rulebook because of the possibility they will royally screw up their design. It is exciting yet scary as hell.

Good evening! Reading about the "turbo delay" I think we shouldn´t exaggerate things. Although Schmidt of auto, motor and sport usually is a well informed jounalist, his comment remains the only source concerning this matter so far. As PURE is almost ready and Renault and Mercedes are likely to test their first V6 in summer everybody can imagine the outcome if the turbos would be postponed to an (uncertain) later date now. The sunk costs (also in past of the abolished four bangers)certainly would excel the costs of the engine development to do. So it is highly unlikely and would be absolutely disgraceful for the sport. I think we see the usual skirmish between the protagonists concerning the new CA, maybe with BE as agent provocateur again. He hates turbos for his owns reasons, but, adding by way of explanation, there is a decision of the European Commission that the sportal and the commercial part of F1 have to be run separated. The decision about the future engine formula is FIA/Jean Todt/team business ONLY, otherwise someone would have to engage the EC again...

Audi has made a mono-turbo diesel for their LMP1.

The solution looks quite intresting for F1 too.
The exhaust layout has to be changed to comply with the rules and VTG has to be removed.

The electronics seem to be quite sophisticated as there is no drop in boost during shifting.



Sorry for the poor translation, but I did not find an english article on this topic.

Are there examples of the use of air water inter-cooler in the last turbo era

Yes, I believe that the 1979 Renault was equipped with such intercoolers?

Grandprix.com suspects the 1.6L turbo might be scrapped before it even makes an appearance.

I have been repeating this ad nauseum. Like an obnoxious kid.

I hope they carry out with their original plan. Even NASCAR is trying to move into the future.lol

F-1 is slowly becoming technically obsolete and disconnected. The pinacle of monkey business and politics... What a shame !
