First i've heard of it, but it seems to the solution as to how I think F1 should be, so i'll definitely watch it. Wether it becomes interesting or just another glorified, televised parade, time will tell. Definitely sounds brilliant though.

I don't know which channel will be showing it, I think its Sky Sports (hopefully BBC, and NOT ITV)

I think it is a good idea, it will really tell who is the fastest driver and not the fastest car.

Apparently the engine is a seal unit no mods aloud, but they can change tyre pressure, areodynamics.

Sounds very good, so i'll be watching, see how it goes.

I would like them to handcap cars with lighter drivers, so every car, with driver are of equal weight. Otherwise, you'll get the same thing happening here as with horse racing, where they just try and find smaller lighter midgets for riders, instead of better riders.

Ahh well, see how it goes.
