[quote][i]Originally posted by Francesc[/i] Hi Friends When JPVR exposed the updated rules some weeks ago, he put in the web site "Let's hear what you wish to change". I let him to hear what i will change, and this is the mail i sent: "Hello Jean Pierre, Thanks for hear sugestions about the rules. I will try to expose what i think may be changed and why. I think that the main focus in the rules must be the racers, the rules must be easy to understand for the racers, must give freedom to explore new solutions but with a contention of costs and must try to give to all racers the same oportunities. Also, all rules must be easy to verify by the race direction. Regarding the bodies, the solution of only one body for all in the Worlds, it’s the best one, because other solutions ever give some advantage to some racers over the rest. And the mandatory use of certain parts of the kit it’s perfect to give the same oportunities to everybody, but it’s dificult and requires long time for the race direction to check if all mandatory parts are in the car. May be a good solution will be to reduce the number of mandatory parts to the ones that are easily visible. Also, the minimum weight of the body with the body holders has no sense. This rule was created when the bodies are asembled with the only one body holder that exists in this moment and the ballast in the body has not been allowed, this force to the racers to use as many parts of the kit is possible when they mount the body in order to get the minimum weight. But now, with the actual heavy body holders and the ballast, you can easily get the minimum body weight with a lexan body!!!, this is the reason because i think has no sense this rule, i think that with only the minimum weight of the car is enought. Regarding the chassis, ¿what is the sense to limit the parts of the chassis to the parts of the same manofacturer? I think that we must give to the racers the oportunity to explore new ways, the evolution must be done in competition, not in stores. Imagine the Ferrari F1 with a similar rules, ¿What are the brand of his shock absorvers?¿and the spark plugs? ¿and the fuel injection? ¿And…..¿all this parts are manofactured by Ferrari? If a manofacturer makes the best body holders and other manofacturer the best axle holders and…. ¿why we can't put all togheder to make the perfect car? ¿why we must be depending of the manofacturers? I think that the best rule in this section may be: The choice of the base chassis it’s free between the comercialized ones, the exchange of parts between diferent chassis is allowed when this doesn’t imply a modification of the parts. The utilization of parts made for thirth parts manofacturers or home made parts is limited to a parts with similar shape to the original ones and with the same functionality. (This rule, limits the chasis base to a chassis that can be easily adquired for the racers and help to content the cost, but don’t put limits to the evolution, the last part, allow the utilization of the tipical carbon parts. If the racer has no way to get them from a store, is free to made his own home made part) Regarding the sizes, the limit to the size of the axles is not necesary, you only need to use this rule: The maximum width of the front axle is the width of the body in the front wheel arches. The maximum width of the rear axle is the width of the body in the rear wheel arches. This make easy for the race direction to check the cars, and the builder don’t need to check the size with the caliper every time he change the wheels. Also, it’s better at stetic level, because if you put a fixed width in a class where diferent bodies are used, some cars will have the wheels to much inside the body and other ones will have the wheels outside the body. Regarding other parts of the rules (motor, gears,axles,…), i find them correct. Best regards Francesc Reyes" As i let to hear my opinion, will be good that everybody does the same, in order to get the best rules. I'm sure that JPVR don't want to
[Censored]
anybody with the rules, but will be good if we can help him to make the best rules for the future championships, a rules that everybody will agree. [/quote]
