Red tyres??

[Azumanga Davo]

Hey, if it produces a show worthy of good passing, then I say Im all for it. As long as it produces the tough millimetre-to-millimetre racing of olden days, then Im happy no matter how its done.

[Ranger]

I think it will.

Differences in tyre performances produced most of this year's passing and this will be a good substitute to the one tyre rule which has an equal playing field for all.

I'm all for it if its done Champ Car style. That means that the first time a driver gets to use the reds is in qualy, so it should show up the abilities of good drivers to either set up a car that works well on both compounds or drive around a car that only works well on one compound. Could make for some very exciting races.

Champcar Innovations could be coming to F1 like wildfire in a few years.

The 2007 CCWS Panoz DP01 will have a start button in the event that a car stalls on track. ...

I thought that F1 regulations currently permitted on-board starters?

[Tomski]

Not in favour at all. Isn't F1 meant to be the piunacle of motorsport?

Surely that means it should be racing in its purest form and non of this contrived "lets me it inerestin" Cr*p.

The rules & regs should just be there to cover the safety aspects of the sport and the technical regs should be as free as possible, and let the teams get on with it!

They might do, but no team is going to waste the weight on a starter motor. The drivers not supposed to stall! :

Why red? Why not white walled?

I think the average F1 fan is bright enough to know what tyre a car is on by watching lap times.

They do but we don't see very many stalled cars anyway. The anti-stall systems work well enough that usaually cars that are stall already have more significant damage.

That's true but it would mean we actually have to have the lap times with the TV coverage, not something we get much of.

The graphics on ITV usually show who's currently flying and if they don't Martin Brundle usually tells us so.
