So how will they impose a horsepower limit?
Will every engine have to be put on a dyno before qualifying and racing?
Will they simply require a specific RPM limiter module for the ignition system?
Will they reduce engine size?
Or will all races become restrictor plate races?
whats this from?....good looking unit.
Good questions!
F1 only limited RPM and/or boost.
How the heck do ya' limit horsepower?![]()
As Terry has pointed out above, the way they're going to reduce HP is by making a new (smaller) engine, as opposed to “limiting” the HP of existing engines with plates and such. As for enforcing the new HP limits, I imagine they'll do it the same way they're doing it now. Teams can't stick in any engine they please. It has to be an “approved” engine, right? So, next year the approved engine will be different. Smaller.... How the heck do ya' limit horsepower?![]()
Wild guess here but: Same way they do it now, but, erase "950" and substitute "750"... ?
I would hope there would be a corresponding decrease in down force so that the driver still has to hustle the car somewhat.
