2008
- regulations as published but possible elimination of aerodynamic appendices (barge boards, winglets, chimneys, etc) forward of rear wheel centreline and behind front wheel centreline (subject to unanimous agreement of competing teams);
Hope they all go!
- possible sporting regulations to restrict the use of wind tunnels and/or models for use in wind tunnels and/or test rigs (subject to the consent of a majority of competing teams) ;
can't see this happening
- (existing 2.4 litre engine remains frozen) BORING!

2009
- energy recovery and re-use from braking
- reduction of 50% of downforce I like the Idea :
- aerodynamic and other changes to facilitate overtaking this is good
- existing 2.4 litre engine remains frozen or, possibly, a four-race drive train (engine and transmission) Bloody hell this is stupid, one race, one drive train (engine and transmission) is better, we may aswell sit on the bridge and watch the motorway traffic.

2010
- a proportion of waste heat recovered and used to propel the carYes, get green, get clean
- a proportion of waste energy from exhaust gases recovered and used to propel the caras i said above
- wholly or partially standardised aerodynamics (or, possibly, new rules to encourage road-relevant research into aerodynamics)WTF, Really champ car car and all the lesser categories have this already covered, F1 Is more to Individualism pertained to that that team, F1 clones not needed.
- (existing 2.4 litre engine remains frozen, or, if applicable, four-race drive train remains frozen) Crap idea, not for racing.

2011
- perhaps a new four-race (OMG this sucks ) engine including
- high-efficiency turbocharging
- fuel (energy) flow limits
- direct injection Looks like desiel TDi to me, on Bio-diesel, sound OK???
- downsizing so as to ensure very high (15000+) rpm Boring
- bio fuels (possible freedom to use any bio fuel, with a limited maximum energy flow rate rather than a maximum fuel flow rate) I fully agree
- perhaps a new approach to the chassis with
- further reductions in downforce
- greater emphasis on cornering performance and handling by means of chassis, suspension, and brake management
- complete freedom to use electronics to make the car more energy-efficient (drive train, etc, management) good if no driver aids are included.
- possibly also free up driver-aid electronics Bull***
- materials ¨C limitations on materials to bring them more into line with those used in road cars boring
- other road-relevant technologies

2012
- new engine as above
- It is proposed that the foregoing should be a basis for discussion. There may be other interesting and important technologies as well as areas of research which are not mentioned.

Everything will be on the principle that new technologies, or rather the relevant devices, shall be freely available for sale to any team which wants them at an easily affordable price.

The FIA Senate has been mandated to finalise its regulation changes to the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship, following a meeting on 19 December 2006. These will be voted on before 31 December 2006, in order for them to be incorporated into that championship.

some ideas are good, green and environment friendly +limit aero, but 4 race engine+transmissions, this is not racing , more commuteing along the Motorway, and opening up of driver aids I was hoping to see the driver come through not the electronic genius
Some real walk with the ferries stuff. May Max be gone before the really bad changes happen.
