Should be interesting to see if it'll actually work. That was partly the idea of KERS too...

As for the Red Bull cars FIA is changing one of their scrutineering procedures as apparently Red Bull cars found some way to dynamically change their front wings or ride height in a way that the FIA doesn't like. (ie: no one else figured it out and complained to the officials)

lmao thats the only reason the rules ever get changed, other teams complaining about other teams ie:

team manager: how are they so much faster than us?

team engineer: i dont know, theyve figured out how to make the front wing flex alittle more

team manager: hmmmm. they must be cheating. i'll go have a talk to the FIA


lol!

Yeah, sometimes I think it won't be too long before the lawyers are more important on the F1 teams than drivers, engineers and aerodynamicists.

Heh...

so been reading up on this new Lotus Renault GP team as a bid to make lotus more competitive and am wondering:

This means that Lotus that there will be one less team in the field in 2011 and im kind of liking it, ive always like Lotus and i finnaly found a Renault i like, the new Megane(we just got it down here...), and this means that Lotus WILL be a hell of alot more competitive in 2011, but what now happens to Trulli and Kovalainen?? because Kubica shouldnt be dropped and Vitaly did well but Trulli and Kovalainen were the reasons Lotus made it to 10th so what happens now?

there are going to be two lotus teams. the lotus from this year, and my understanding is that renault is going to turn into lotus renault.

thats what i thought at first too but i remember tony fernandes saying the teams was going to switch to the old yellow and black scheme and now the renault one is black and yellow(well at least the rendering is) and the report on F1.com made it sound like the teams were merging and then at the end they say that tony fernandes team will continue to race as team lotus but if you look at the teams entry list FIA posted lotus was already down as lotus renault and renault was just renault, its confusing

KERS is coming back next year? You need to have ADHD to keep up with F1 rules changes...

(And when are they going to 1.6L 4 cylinder turbos? 2013?)

KERS was never outlawed lol it was just a "gentlemens" agreement that they wouldnt use it this year.

Change is progress!(lol)

(yes 2013) so enjoy the V8's while you still can!

I haven't played F1 2010 yet, but I may rent it out just to see what it's like.

You are correct 360 FTW!

Bah, piss on the V8's. The little turbo fours are supposed to make more relevance for the sport, and I can see it. More chance for real tech trickle-down.
