Mosleys Radical Engine Plan For 2011

FIA president Max Mosley has proposed to totally revolutionise formula one's engine rules.

Although the brand new 2.4 litre V8 formula is yet to even debut at a grand prix, the Briton revealed that the Federation was - for 2011 - thinking about no longer mandating the number of cylinders or engine capacity.

Instead, one of the only limits on engine design would be the amount of fuel allowed per race.

''All kinds of motors will be allowed,'' Max was quoted as saying by the Italian 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' newspaper, ''but every car will get an equal amount of fuel. So it will be based on (fuel) consumption. Who wins will be the one who uses (the fuel) best.''

Mosley admitted that his idea also tips its hat to the world's 'oil crisis' and to critics of the excesses and waste of futile motor racing.

He said : ''It is something that we will talk about at greater length on a later date.''

I Think Its A Great Idea But Honda Would Trounce Every1 Like IN 1988 With Their 1.5L V6 Had 1000BHP+ In Qualie Trim And Was The Most Fuel Efficient
