This is great news - I remember the previous foray in to the turbos, and the racing was so much better - plenty of overtaking with the use of adjustable boost

Perhaps they could regulate it similar to the DRS, so that the driver can up the boost when they are within 1 second of the driver in front

Almost back to the 80's when they were 1.5 litre turbo's. These engines are going to rev to silly high rpm's.

one day boost will be mine!

They will definately limit the power though won't they, otherwise with all the modern development they'd be pushing over 2000 hp surely.

Cant see it changing much, as there will still be no refueling.

This is FORD country, on a quiet day you can hear Vauxhalls rusting.

They will only rev to 15,000 not the current 18,000+, i recon the power will be arround the 700+ mark not under that.
Tho there is going to be a chassis change for 2013 which maybe interesting but im not sure what this will be.

The report i read was on autosport, it has now been updated and the bit about valves removed lol shame i was on the phone or i would have print screned it

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!
