There were no restrictions to engine size or turbo back in the days. Imagine how fast this would be compared to Schumacher

Waiting to hear a member say "My cup will take him in the twisties"

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

[Russ_16v]

If the present NA engines were derestricted they would probably be more powerfull, responsive and reliable than the 1.5 turbos of old.

Lap times are coming down year on year in F1, that says it all.

There were restriction you could have a 3.0 N/A or a 1.5 liter turbo with whatever boost you wanted.

 

[Giles]

cool

yep Fred is right that video is real

 

[Phill1978]

presumably the aerodynamics, brakes, suspension, power delivery and power to weight, traction control, launch control are all so much better today that 800bhp is faster round a track than 1200-1400bhp

also safer of course

 

[Englebert]

Shame today's cameras aren't mounted there, it gives a much better impression of speed and you can actually see what they're doing..

 

[Harry_manback]

hang on, 1200 bhp from a 1.5? is that right

i think there should be a no restrictions race series.
see what is really possible.

Yep. The F1 teams then could have high capacity N/A engines i.e. 3.5l v8's or small forced induction engines, I think 1500cc was the limit.

BMW made one with approx 1400-1500bhp.

Look at the size of the turbo! Super laggy.

Clarkson did a TV show about the F1 engines and apparently BMW pissed on there blocks to strengthen them.

yep,i remember the old 1.5 making nearly 1500 bhp,
but im 35 now and too old for the slow ones nowadays.haha

Ype thats the BMW 2000 tubo engien block they did that to (reputably)

Won't be that lagy when you thinkg engines were running at serious rpm.

wonder if the 1.5 would fit in my RT?
