The 3 liters were great, but they were almost hitting 1000hp and had a ton of downforce. I was skeptical of the 2.4L V8's, but man they screamed.

This season as usual is a bit of a mess up with any big rule change but they'll adjust as always. At least they're really hard to drive. :-) It's fun watching them get sideways out of every corner.

Unfortunately Hungary is this weekend is always a snorer of a race. I think they just go there for the prostitutes. At least qualy should be good.

Sounds like you’re thinking of the 3L V10 engines of the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. And those were indeed awesome. I was actually talking about the mid-’60s through the early ‘80s. In those days you had V8 engines, V12’s, flat-12’s, and even a 16-cylinder BRM engine for a couple of years!

It was also during this time that F1 cars began using wings, and just about anyone with enough money could build their own car around a Cosworth DFV and a Hewland transaxle.
