so i've been thinking of the ban diffusers idea:

ban diffusers
active front / rear wing aero - hella low drag on the straights, hella downforce in the corners, the time has come my friends
active suspension

the active control systems can be standard issue like mclaren ECU with option for team development, and then subsequent ban (or forced technology sharing) of any unfair advantage developed. since we're talking electronic controls any innovation can be cheaply and easily copied. unlike trying to balance wing / diffuser aero.

i'd propose active aero be a simple angle of attack adjustment with some kind of limitation on complexity / articulation of flaps, winglets so we don't get back to WTF Newey navel gazing.

Could you imagine watching cars wings pop up with sponsor logos flashing as cars dive into the parabolica? come on sponsor's would jizz all over that.

can you imagine how short braking distances can get when the wing tilts almost vertical? add inertial contol systems and wings can feather in the event of wheel to wheel contact and prevent cars flying.

To make things more difficult, less mechanical grip.

To make things even more difficult, beam rear axle.

Missed quite a bit the past week+, my shoulder is still quite injured so home renovations have slowed a little...

I see the re-fueling along with some other discussions we had are being considered... Hams finally signed his contract, and Tim's still going to hell for his telling his son Schu's sleeping, to which I literally LMFAO (congrats on him finally saying Schmacher, btw)... along with his standings table.. lol McHonda Fit, ftw!

On to the parade we know as Monaco.

Kurt Busch's ex-lady (Patricia Driscoll) looks pretty haggard. And allegedly skims a ton off the top of her Armed Forces Foundation.
