Disadvantage Regulation in the Formula One Race

Chassis Against Regulation
FIA will also propose the standardization of some components of the structure which is estimated to cost big time in research and development stage but the “appearance” is not a lot of audience attention. There are several components that are proposed to standardize the suspension, alloy wheels, underbody, diffuser, and some other components. But this will all be discussed further with the FOTA.

Other Matters Regulation as Competition
However, the savings does not mean much if the savings that appeal F1 sponsorship funding is decreasing so that any part of it down. So the savings should be coupled with efforts to make F1 more exciting, competitive and attractive.

In many ways the competition is very close to the statistical data. Watching the race will be more enjoyable if the viewer can compare the data-fastest laps, speed at specific corners, top speeds between each racer. FIA aware of this right so that the statistical data as it gets more and more we see it on TV screens in recent seasons than the previous F1 impressions. Not only that, show the race is currently too often present data in real time on board such as engine speed (rpm), the gas valve opening, the percentage of braking, and even talk via two way radio between rider and his pitcrew.

On one day, if technology allows television, viewers will be able to choose which image he wanted to see. Is the picture on the corner of circuit-specific, or image on-board camera in the car Lewis, mass, or perhaps an image in a particular team’s pit garage.

Attract the attention of the audience also is about how to keep emotions among drivers with fanatical fans. FIA wants fans closer to the driver his idol. Because of that FIA plans to provide a fan meeting in special session Saturday.
So if F1 is on the verge of collapse? I do not know. But one thing is certain F1 requires funding and is the largest fund of the sponsor and the sponsor need an audience. So anyone who became a star on the track, the real audience and loyal F1 fans is the real king.

Formula 1 on The Brink of Destruction

Formula 1 on the brink of destruction, really? At least that’s the opinion of the FIA??.

According to FIA, the current annual budget of almost the entire team well past their acceptance, both from the gift of points earned or acquired sponsorship funds. As a result, factory team lives of subsidy from its parent company, while independent teams must rely on rich people who are willing to become donors. This season has claimed. Super Aguri team, an independent team to be the youngest, has “bled” and retreat from the arena before the 2008 season is over.

FIA aware that these conditions could potentially create a bigger problem. Donors for the independent teams as well as the parent company for the manufacturer teams do not necessarily want to continuously supply the funds. That is, there must be a radical regulations actually limit each team’s budget for the survival of the sport is maintained at the same time the level of competition remains high and bring the attraction for spectators and sponspor.

FIA Max Mosley has been thinking through some steps that can be used as a regulation in order to reduce the budget of each team competitor

Barriers in Developing Racing Technology Pole

Rules are less successful teams put the brakes on an increase in the annual budget is the engine homologation rules that prohibit the development of engines since the end of season 2006 to end the 2010 season. With this ban, the practical cost of R & D on the engine to be completely lost because the engine should not be developed. However, the operational budget of each team is not really hampered because there are many other areas targeted by the Division of R & D to develop the speed of the car.

On the other hand were struck by the fact that the FIA F1 survival is seriously threatened with Honda’s exit from the competition season 2009 due to the global financial crisis at the end of 2008. Team Super Aguri Honda team after previously falling out in mid-season 2008 due to run out of “blood”. That is, if the expenditure is not saved team, each team will be very prone to the danger of bankruptcy and they could decide to quit F1 at any time, this alarm a danger to the F1 race as a regulator.

Because of budget savings can not be controlled from the restrictions of technology, the FIA ??thought to directly limit the budget directly through the heart of the matter is it’s own budget. Then Max Mosley was born the idea to limit the budget team at Eur 30 million figure, which is then revised to Eur 40 million, and Bernie is proposed to be changed into Eur 100 million, though ultimately failing agreement, F1 back to the format without budget constraints, at least till 2012.

That is F1. Currently F1 racing is not just F1, F1 is also a battlefield of business, technology development and the fight money is the “blood” for all the competition. Limiting the budget in F1 will indeed protect the weaker teams in the fight business, but on the other hand the race to be less appropriate and technological developments were stalled
