    Should f1 run coupes?

    Anyone who watches Le Mans will have seen the two Audi's crash with practically no injury to the drivers. At some point an F1 driver is going to get hurt and coupes are obviously stinger.

    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    No. It would not be F1. Simple as that.

    Why? F1 is open wheel open cockpit. Anything else isn't F1

    But if they ran around with goats on top of the engine cover previously and removed them then it doesn't change the racing....

    No. As we saw from the LeMans shunts, an inverted coupe traps the driver inside, and with the higher speeds involved I shudder to think of a driver trapped unconscious with the medical teams unable to get to them.
    All other opinions are wrong....

    Gloomy, I'm just trying to say that just because we did something in the past doesn't mean we should do it now.

    The W196 Mercedes-Benz might disagree with you.


    I rather like the idea for the 2012 Indy Car with the those things things fore and aft of the rear wheels. I personally like the idea because it goes part of the way to preventing jumped wheels. If the rear wheels were covered it would also reduce the size of the rooster tails behind the cars in the wet as well.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
