And this is a complete joke anyway, if customer cars aren't legal then why have no teams been banned for the customer cars that have ran over the years? The 1995 Ligier was a 1995 Benetton B195 chassis, the 2003 Sauber was a 2002 Ferrari, the 2007 STR is a 2007 RBR, the 2007 Super Aguri is a 2006 Honda. If customer cars are legal, then just say so. If they aren't legal, just say so. But currently they are illegal and a blind eye is being turned to it! ]]>Oct 8th 2007 7:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/Oct 8th 2007 7:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/Oct 8th 2007 8:01PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/
Sorry Dave, I respect you a lot, but build your own chassis. While you are at it, make sure Torro Rosso & Super Aguri do the same.]]>Oct 8th 2007 7:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/Oct 8th 2007 8:02PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/Oct 8th 2007 7:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/Oct 8th 2007 10:22PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/Oct 9th 2007 1:34AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/Oct 9th 2007 2:36AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/
As it stands, the wording for the money hasn't changed, so next year those that make their own car want a larger piece of the pie (on top of the money made selling the cars). This has never been about what is right, just about who gets paid.]]>Oct 9th 2007 10:48AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/08/customer-cars-could-lead-to-f1-super-teams-in-08/
At the end of it all, F1 technology has become so advanced and so expensive, it is beyond the interest of the fans. High speed gearboxes, ECUs and aerodynamic nuances are well beyond the interest or understanding of even the most avid fan. And it renders the sport inaccessible for all except the mega wealthy and manufacturers, requiring an investment of at least $200 milion per year to be competitive.

What we need is 24 cars racing wheel to wheel for 18 races per year. We need it to be affordable, so that all 12 teams are sustainable and can be competitive. If customers cars can be allowed in a manner that that allows this to happen and doesn't turn F1 into IRL, so be it.]]>Oct 9th 2007 10:48AM
