[l02turner (l02turner]

Finally, I have the answer -- Lawnmower engines!  Single cylinder, plentiful 
and cheap.  Also, small packages to aid a low CG ;-)  light weight, Man! 
It's got it all!  Maybe they could go with 2 cycle?

This also proves the fallacy of less cylinders = less emissions. â these 
single cylinder engines are notoriously high emission.   It takes a whole 
package.....

I agree with the comment that this is a move to mollify the extreme green 
crowd.  They should learn there is no mollifying these people   - if you 
never understood what was meant by the "give them a inch and they'll take a 
mile" clichÃ, this should explain it.   Make the rules 4 cylinder today and 
in a few years they'll be demanding hybrid, electric, solar, diesel, or some 
other option. (should not have said diesel - it makes too much sense with 
their ~30% improved mpg using todays proven technology).

Even then, the extreme greenies will not be satisfied until racing is 
banned.  IMO that's their ultimate goal.

No, nothing.  Make the drivers push the cars around the track.  Lets see who 
the real men are!

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
