We need formula racing with no downforce again. Modern F1 can

yeah but then the racing would be slower with less strategy and less engineering prowess.

Maybe we can go back to weekly deaths on the track as well.

Obviously the cars would be slow as fuck around corners compared to modern F1 and obviously they'd be less advanced, that's the point. But imagine how fast they could go on straights with no wings and how overtaking would be so much easier around corners with no wings making dirty air.

Not gonna happen. Even Formula Ford got phased out in favor of a full slicks & wings series (F4 I believe).

modern safety in racing is gay as fuck. death should be part of the risk.

>lets make powerful mid-engined cars with little grip and send them around fast twisty circuits with 2-3 straights
what could possibly go wrong?

>>17245881
A lot, that's the point.

>>17245888
this, racing drivers used to be known as the manliest fucking men ever who risk their lives all the time, now there's close to a 0% chance you will die in a crash so any pussy bitches can be a f1 driver

>>17245921
Tell that to Jules Bianchi. Oh, wait, you can't, HE FUCKING DIED RACING. Twat.

>>17245951
>died in pussified racing

probably why i have no idea who that kek is

>>17245951
I said close to 0%, not 0%. It has been many years since the last death before him

They didn't have downforce because it wasn't "invented" for cars yet, not because it was better for the race.

You already have plenty of small regional series with open wheelers with no downforce, they are meant as cheap, club-level races for privateers or as a learning tool for newbies, but even that is disappearing as an official option because, at least in Europe, the FIA made F4 as a mandatory step for your drivers who want to transition from karts to single seaters. Every kid who gets out of a kart has to step into a single seaters designed around downforce now.

When all the important series (F1, GP2, GP3, Indy, V8 World Series and so on) really heavily on downforce, there is absolutely no point in making an important no-downforce series meant for drivers who already have experience. It teaches nothing for the big series and the "fun" factor for spectators is heavily overrated.

Go watch those minor series if you want no downforce so much, you will never see it into anything more relevant than club racing.

not happening, formula e is the future. even more aero, even less speed, and changing entire car mid-race. expensive racing is all about developing technologies for future use anyway.

if you want to watch/do cool racing, watch poorfag formulas, like formula vee or something

>>17245602
you just know they would all cheat with under body effects
