If FIA allowed the OPTION of 2-seaters with fenders for F1?

Here are our CFD links and discussions about aerodynamics, suspension, driver safety and tyres. Please stick to F1 on this forum.

S'funny - I agree with him and I gave him a +1 because of it...
Which you're entitled to do.

I gave 2 examples where two of the biggest names in F1, Brawn and Montezemolo (arguably Ferrari play a critical role in F1 and its future) whereby both have stated in public that there does in fact need to be 'more' relevance for road cars in F1. I posted fact based information available in the public domain and suggested to a poster, that to make a sweeping statement countering information supplied by key personal involved in the sport - may not be good information to post, furthermore, to attack a poster to 'go elsewhere' deserved a -1 - is actually championed by some people - astounds me.

No one on this forum, in any thread, that I can find, or in the public domain, has ever supplied (by a leading team member or FIA representative) a statement, printed document or any other facts that prove that F1 does not have any relevance to road cars. Never. Yet not only are personal opinions treated as fact, to show evidence that contradicts that is openly criticised, with those criticising receiving endorsement.

Maybe everyone is right, the voting system is worthless. I shall be more cautious with what I post. If I actually post anything from this point on. It really is pointless trying to have an open fact based discussion on here.

@ Cam - I have noted above and reiterated that I was not offering the OP to go ahead and take a jump.

If you were to read the topics that this poster creates then you would perhaps see that I was, if anything, brusque, rather than belligerent.

With regards to the road relevance debates.

Of course - manufacturer teams have to try and pretend there is some relevance - why would a road car manufacturer be involved otherwise?

DO you wonder whether Williams, Red Bull, Sauber, force India - the non manufacturer teams - think that the sport has to be road relevant?
No - they have no political reason to pretend it is anything other than an engineering exercise based on the rules.

I doubt even Marussia is trying to associate the working of the F1 team to the Marussia road car business?

The blurb does not really say how many f1 related engineering devices are ont he cars...you can get multimedia screens and 20 inch wheels?
