[LarryT (l02turner]

Speaking of F1 ;-)  I ran across this on the EVO magazine website -
<< Starting next year, those little protuberances that currently festoon F1 
car bodies will be banned. They make it difficult to see the sponsors' 
logos, and as sponsorship pays the bills.

Rear wings will be much smaller from 2009 too. Currently an overtaking car 
is heavily affected by the rear wing of the car in front, so it's hoped the 
change will result in more overtaking. To counter the loss of downforce, 
slick tyres are back, so cornering will rely much more on mechanical grip, 
and front wings will get bigger, giving more of an F3 look.>>

Don't know if this has alread been discussed but IMO "It's about time!"  I 
can't believe the FIA finally made a design changes I can agree with!

Sincerely,
