I know full well of these noise complaints. 99.9% are made by idiots who move next to a track because the house/flat was cheap and then all they do for the next couple of years ring up to complain whenever they hear a noise. I can understand it if a race track has just been build next to your home, but fact of the matter is, most tracks have been there LONG before the people moved there.

Classic case in point: Zandvoort. Circuit Zandvoort has been there for over 60 years now, and right now it can only have 3 'noise' weekends a year. Trackdays are very limited, very few a year. Why? Because some old hag, whose life hasn't turned out exactly how she wanted to, but still wanted to move close to the sea, could only afford a small flat which was close to the race track. She and 3 others are the only persons calling to complain about the noise.

I'm sorry, but unless you've lived there BEFORE the track was there, STFU and watch grass grow. Straight execution is necessary I'm afraid. Old people are evil

Well, in spite of your insulting tone and ageism mentality, you have just proven that in the end noise doesn't win!! A tiny minority of geriatric individuals (the kind you despise apparently) can confront motorsport enthusiasts and spoil their fun.
So, you know very well how to shoot yourself in the foot. Bravo !!

The case of Zandvoort, which I didn't know about, echoes the problems faced by many racetracks. Noise restriction is increasingly on the agenda and will not go away. Refusing to address it would be just suicidal for motorsport in the long run.

The adoption of turbo should partly tackle the problem, but some form of exhaust silencing is on the cards. Small price to pay to keep the sport alive ...

In cases like this, they also receive the right to get told to F**k off.

Keep the language to an acceptable level please.

This is after all Ferrarichat, a forum for motorsport enthusiats, one presumes, and not an outlet for frustrated teenagers...

Hi Guys. The point of the article was to combine the technical regs, regs that have been leaking out of the technical working groups, with a rationale of why that would satisfy the manufacturers. My point was to find the link between road car technology and F1's future.

We are all asking "why" this particular path, and I was trying to answer that question. I think the answer to "why" is because it matches the manufacturers vision of the future, whether we fans like it or not. I am convinced that this will be the car of tomorrow, but I do not know if the interior details of the engine will be free or frozen. But I am convinced that the number of cylinders and the displacement will be.

Thanks for you time. Forza Ferrari!

Thank you for clarifying. However, I sure hope to God this is not the route we are going down because while I don't mind change the power/RPM restrictions/others WILL put fans off and this is not the only forum where people are complaining. I would say that in response to the news of these new engines 85% of the responses are negative from the fans...

As much as I agree with you that was then, and this is now. PC and going green isn't about logic, it's what those people want to hear.

"Those people" As in VIP's and company owners, possible sponsers, etc. that the teams and F1 have to entertain over the of a weekend? The same guys, which most don't follow F1 closely, have to be appeased?

On some things, I wish F1 would just listen to the fans.

And F1 is very hypocritical. They want to cut costs, yet they change rules year in and year out. How much money is all new turbo engines going to cost, along with all the energy recovery systems?
