    So, one way is to have diversity without actual rivalry, but it's immitation because of severe health (and financial) consequences if rivalry becomes quite real, oh wait ..... it has been already invented - WWE - World Wrestling Entertainment . So why not rename IRL to WRE - World Racing Entertainment ....


    Get me right - IMO this is one of the ways expenditures may be kept down and a lot of manufacturers taking part of the game, said with sense of humour.

    Fantatic news and best of all its been annouced early to give the manufacturers time to develop and submit their 10 cents worth.

    Sort out the ugly car with old Reynards and Lolas and I'd be happy.....

    I appreciate we will not have Reynards and Lolas, but those cars looked bigger than DPo1 and the IRL cars.

    I could live with that, but only second generation biofuels should be permitted.

    I hope that means non-food crop based.

    I think there's a rumor of a customer team next year. No current customers though.

    I'd always thought it was because they wanted to keep control of their R&D knowledge. Similar to how Peugeot supposedly has some trick suspension setup. They also are having the diesel battle with Audi so want to keep a wrap on their goings ons. Vice versa with Audi.



    I think it's especially important to also get the number of manufacturers right. People don't particularly like paying to have their cans handed to them on a yearly basis so before you know it you could be back to two manufacturers screwing the sport over.
