Wasn't it Balestre who pushed for it? The Turbo engines in F1 were supposed to last until 1990 originally.

What junior series needs a global engine? Who even benefits from this idea?

Wirth1000 posted:I mean, gently caress, even the idea of BTCC or any series with a variety of manufacturers all sharing the same kind of engine is loving horseshit. I just want to check, you know the majority of the BTCC cars actually do use the same engine right? Human Grand Prix posted:I always forget the ill-fated attempt for Group C and F1 to share engine rules. MAYBE it would have worked if the same manufacturers were competing simultaneously in both series but really on Jaguar/Ford benefited from that. You know who I'm surprised has clearly forgotten about it? Jean Todt, who was in charge of building a car to those very regulations.

Come on lads we've seen this time and time again, It's the Bernie school of negotiation. Have something the teams will get pissy about that you want to push through, propose something absolutely terrible that everyone truly hates, "compromise" with the thing you actually want.

It's a good way of keeping the grid varied. track day bro! posted:I didn't really follow btcc last year, but I thought Honda, Subie and BMW use their own engines?

(I'm calling Motorbase works here because they build the cars) The private Hondas are all Swindon engined as well as the Toyotas, Vauxhalls, MGs, Audis, Mercedes and VWs. It's the majority of cars.

Makes sense that most of the privateer teams use em, dunno why but I just figured the privateer Hondas still used the honda motor. I forgot about the weird janky one car privateer teams like Audi and Vauxhall haha.

Sauber are pretty much Italian, I mean Switzerland borders Italy anyway. Does anyone remember when McLaren pretended to be german when they were the Mercedes works team and they played the German Anthem instead of the bad British Anthem which is probably about loving your ugly cousin while eating boiled horse meat with bad teeth.

I don't know why they don't really, it seems to work pretty well for the works team and both Eurotech and BTC Norlin use ex-Dynamics cars, just not the engines.

Rondeau was killed when his car was hit by a train outside Champagné. He had been following a police car across the train tracks – while the boom gates were down – and his car was hit by the train that the gates had closed for.
