I've always advocated going back to adjustable boost, leaded gas, enormous turbos, high rpms, and limited fuel. That said, we'll have to see who places the emphasis on powerband width and fuel efficiency and who goes for outright power. Porsche did well playing it conservative with Lauda/Prost. Makes sense to limit rpms so you can't strap a diesel truck turbo on there and have a powerband start at 18k rpms.

Great videos. Nice to see what has already been done but, for me, tomorrow is my favorite day. I can't wait to see what the most advanced R & D racing teams will do with a 1.6L. I guarantee it will be as fast and mean as all those that came before. The similarity is that this engine will set new highs for what we can accomplish. This is what F1 and the value of motor sports means to me.
These engines will be bad *** and fuel efficient. Advanced technology coming to a street car near you. Can't wait. Bring it on.
