Audi Lunched thier car today, as a full works team.
Audi has never been in F-1, they have won at lemans, world rally
But this is F-1 they are big and have the resources,
they say, they want to be competing for championships by 2030
be intersting to see how they do.
Sharp looking livery.

Ferrari runs its 2026 car Private test track, filming day
they have gone more white and back to shiny red for colours
bigeest eraly thing to notice is how big the gap is below the wing,
seems to be a trend and front wings are all different.
I expect the cars to look a lot different in Melbourne based on what I read.

Seems major controversy brewing and testing has not even started.
Apparently Redbull and mercedes found the first loop hole in the rules.
Engines can only be 16-1 compression ratio, but is tested when cold at Ambient
temperature. When car get to operating temp compression goes to 18-1
rumors are this is worht 3 to 4 ths a lap.
FIA has said they have no plans in changing the testing, other teams are already screaming,
typically FIA tends to close loop holes fast, problme is on noth sides, with new engine there is no quick fix.
Politica and power already in full swing in F-1 talking of official protest at Melbourne
it is going to be a very interesting year, to see who has what and who adjusts the quickest
to fix problmes they find,

One thing I always enjoyed about the old IROC series was the concept of identical cars , all prepared by an independent organization with no stake in the races.
No games, just driving skill, although the IROC series track schedule was heavily biased towards those drivers that only turn left.
Then again, that being said, race teams finding loopholes in the sanctioning body rules package is part of the fun.

there is alot to be said for one model racing series with identical specs and cars for all.One thing I always enjoyed about the old IROC series was the concept of identical cars , all prepared by an independent organization with no stake in the races.

Honda Michelin series was amazing, Media spec series and ultiple others,
the down said is as said, it limits to one manufacture it also limits engineering.
If you look at road cars and most of it tech, it comes from F-1
being the leading edge means the design and build things
to go faster, safer then anyone, these trickle down to road cars.
Plus to both types of racing for every reason.
Of course racing creates folks who push every boundary
IE cheating lol. everyone wants and edge.
I like almost every form of racing and watch as much as I can
follow others on sports pages etc.
F-1 this year is doing something never done before,
changing car and pwoer train, Power train even being split
50 regular engine and 50% electrical power,
which creates even more problems.
What we all get is coming in modern cars, short term some crazy ups and downs
for next few years.
Iroc was great, No mustang aloud, so didn't have to worry about gettting there arse kicked
