see my post above the car makers can't agree on anything and if they run a series it will be a disaster.. imagine if at the first race BMW are 5 seconds slower than the rest and they face the prospect of finishing every race last.. they will call for a change in the rules to even this up but all the other teams won't go for it..

i guess we all have our ideas on what we would like F1 to be here's my idea

ban refeuling so races are won my the fastest car not the best strategy
return to slick tyres with wider rear tyres, tyre companies should be tyres that can last 70% of race before being changed
ban all the sensors on the car, without these the electronics can't sense what is going on and react to it. Also has several knock on effects. Most of the testing is done to get data from these sensors. If they aren't there the purpose of testing is reduce. After each session at a GP you can't see the drivers because they are always reviewing this data
Cars to use the same aero profile for each race. i.e no sticking on of extra parts for high downforce tracks.. force the drivers to adapt to each circuit
aero changes to the cars allowed at only 3 points of the season,, if they can't change each race there will be less need to test
ban tyre warmers
each day of the GP weekend to include a 1 hour signing session with fans, also teams should run free open days for the F1 fans once a year either at end or start of season
qualifying to return to 1 hour session with unlimited laps
V8, V10 or V12 engines with differing tank sizes
teams allowed to sell parts to other teams i.e customer chassis to encourage more teams to enter
wind tunnel time to be equal to that which the team with the smallest budget can afford
accounts to be submitted to the FIA, FIA to be able to introduce a budget cap either overall or in certain areas e.g testing, wind tunnel etc
rule book to be more open to allow for different looking cars
car developments to be submitted to FIA before development, teams shouldn't waste money designing and testing parts that then get banned because another top team doesn't have it
sequential gear box used via a convential geat stick
ban on fly bay wire throttles, if it isn't an electronic signal then it can't be changed
ban on electronics, see sensors rule above
