For just 2.65 liters of displacement, these are my favorite --

Sorry video quality is poor -- The Panasonic car of Tarso Marques is what I was working on that year. Good race up until it done broke

I think my little 1.3L 10.5K revver does quite well for where it fits in the whole picture.

Always been partial to MFI 935 flat fan engines, too!

Mike-

This is a '90's stock car at VIR, driven well off the pace.

Don't bother with the whole thing, but let it load and listen to 1:30-1:40.

I don't like them 'merican cars too much but that thing sounds awesome!

MTosi, the Patrick Depailler clip at Long Beach really grabbed my attention. It is exactly what I think Formula 1 should be today -> Unlimited power with no traction control and limited grip (both aerodynamic and tires). This would make F1 more affordable because once you go beyond a certain horsepower for a given chassis design with no traction control and limited grip, the further gains in horsepower really can't be used that much. The aerodynamics should be limited so that the cars can follow closely at all times (whether at high or low speeds). The limited aero grip should also keep the cornering speeds down to reasonably safe levels. The tires should be the type that have relatively long wear and somewhat limited grip so that they require high slip angles to be fast (i.e. power slides everywhere)!!! I think this type of racing would be insanely cool to watch.

Jeff
