Message: [QUOTE="CAPT. ZIGZAG, post: 1210946, member: 30692"] It hasn't been successful for years. It's been sliding for years. They're loosing viewership by the droves to NASCAR and now they're loosing manufacturers to the economy. The split format is only a departure as far as the "anything goes" nature of F1. Though, I love that aspect of F1 as well, right now the sport can't support that. They don't want to penalize, or cripple that aspect of the sport. But if they leave it alone. they'll be down to a just few teams in two years. The rule change, if you read it closely, tries to give the monster spenders their head. But it tries to give the lower budget teams a chance to compete. If they don't have full fields, they won't fill the seats. Remember the goober cool Can Am series? Man I miss those powerful, full bodied cars. Two abreast around turn 11 at the old Riverside Raceway. Popping out on the straight and listening to each of them pounding down 700 HP through open exhaust in a drag race up to turn 1. Lord, I do miss that. But they didn't change with their (empty seats) times and got dusted by Indy cars. Before they (Indy car powers that were) screwed that up and split the field into two camps. I haven't enjoyed an Indy 500 since. Nor have I held it in the same esteem as I used to. Just another race now. A race where a young boy is likely to get killed. It's all about survival in auto racing right now. They're all loosing thier factory suppot. But I think, if you guys give it a chance, you'll like it. There are other things that are being changed in F1 as well. Such as, no more refueling. Full load, beginning to end. They can have full control of their front wings, and there's the KERS, RPM had been pulled back to 18K, they've gone back to slicks. And..... They all have to carry four on board cameras next year. All this is supposed to help the viewer see actual racing, and passing in the future. Something that has been lacking as of late (Re: boring). I know that three extra cameras per car will make my viewing pleasure much more exciting. Give it a shot. I can't wait. [COLOR=PaleTurquoise] -[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
