F-1 cars

There’s bound to be some obscure little regulation in Mr. Ecclestones big book of rules that prohibits anything otherwise.

I had a quick look at those rules once and immediately wanted to run off home and get back to reading something legible like the JAR-FCL.:rolleyes:

Can’t see the point in them still calling it a sport. It’s a multi million dollar business where highly paid employees called ‘drivers’ pretend to race eachother in contraptions named ‘cars’ with the unsuspecting public paying hugely for any scrap of paper that has any connection and all the proceedings going into one man’s pocket. But it is sport so its legal. [/rant off]

I think its partly due to it being easier to change the tires when they are open like that,i guess tradition plays its part but then again thats the only common link to old still F1 cars really,F1 was ment to be wheel to wheel racing now its nothing like that,it lacks intrest for me now as its not racing anymore.

Certainly just tradition.
