The group of five F1 great constructors BMW, Mercedes, Renault, Toyota and Honda refused to sign F1 contract, they are able to create a new category if F1 menagers dont change their rules.
F1 is geting boring race after race, do you thing that will be good thing to motorsport if the group of 5 really do a rebelion and create a new category?

I don't find it boring at all. I got to see the Gran Prix Montreal last june, and that was the best experience I've ever had. I don't care what they do, but I would only be mad if they changed the way the cars acted and sounded. That's the best part.

Yeah, whenever I see F1 every car is on it's own, no competition at all. I like watching V8 Supercars here because it's so close and even, I even like NASCAR because of the sound and crashes. But the most exciting motorsport for me is drifting, I wish it could be televised here in Aus.

I don't watch F1 much but what i do know is that there's more competition then in the past couple years. No longer is Ferarri and Michael Shumacher completly dominating. I've seen other teams win for a change. What rule changes are they talking about?

F1 stopped ebing a drivers championshp around the late 80's, now its all about a constructers championship...hence the more budget the better the car will dominate...no matter waht rules you imply on the sport, it will hardly ever change this... next season its waht v8 engines...and China enters their car, right? But this will not change, People watch F1 and follow it because of the herritage the sport has... thing is latly everone is "f1 is borring" because of the schumi legacy, but before that is was 3 years of hakinen and coulthart winning every race, before that you had Irvine... Senna, etc... etc.... all the way back to J.M. Fangio, dominating everything... plus rember that 2 seasons ago, Schumacher only one the championship by 3 points. so there is competition. its not as borring as it seems.

I third it. Except for the crashes, but thats what sports highlights are for.

"Why restrictions on to limit performance?
Imagine Formula one without any restrictions by the FIA whatsoever so that engineers may go their own way. Consider the performance of a wide bodied car with wide slicks running the relatively sophisticated yet unrestricted wings of the mid 1980s, with late 1970s ground effects and side skirts (and maybe even a rear fan!), in conjunction with a fully developed 1.5 litre turbo engine, active suspension, interactive telemetry and the other computer enhancements of the 1990s.
Potentially the most lethal combination of technologies would be ground effect and active suspension. The former relies on a very low but consistent even ride height to be maintained by the suspension in order for the air pressure effect to suck the car down onto the road. The latter is designed to produce a very low yet consistent even ride height to maximise the performance of the car's aerodynamics. The combination of the two would be more than just a sum of its parts. Straight-line speed would not necessarily increase, but the gains in cornering speeds would be tremendous and incredibly dangerous. The cars would barely have to brake before turning into a fast corner like the Parabolica at Monza.
It sounds great in principle but in reality it would be completely undriveable, and even Gilles Villeneuve would be intimidated by the performance. To even attempt to drive such a car, drivers would have to wear airforce-style pressure suits to avoid blacking out in 6 or 7 G-force corners. They would probably also have to take amphetamines to improve their reflexes and reaction times. Special tracks would have to be built to accommodate the cars. These tracks would have to have the relatively simple design and layout of modern tracks, with only 12-16 corners, but with the immense length of the great tracks of the past to allow the cars to reach their potential in terms of cornering speeds.
The speeds and the danger to drivers and spectators would be overwhelming. The consequences of a car cornering at more than 300km/h and crashing would be catastrophic."
i took that from another website but wouldnt it be so cool if they didn't limit the performance. that would make people watch

Bring back slicks and manual gearboxes and that'll do it. Maybe also turbos.
