That's the fallacy...forced induction is NOT cutting edge technology.

That's 70s thinking at best...it's old school because back then the only way to make a small (external) dimension engine make power was to add a turbo or supercharger.

Nowadays, we have large displacement engines that are smaller physically than the small displacement engines of the past making more power and with better fuel economy.

This is BS...if the manufacturers are going to develop new engines, why not make it a 21st century challenge and make the power and economy without the old crutch of turbos.

There are ways to do it.

I think it's a good move, Mike.  Like it or not, the days of mega petro engines are coming to an end, and the F1 folks apparently feel that they should be the racing formula that is on the cutting edge of new engine technology.  I would think the engines would be lighter weight, giving the designers more room to play around with weight/balance/aero packages.  All the best,

Tom
