You have a little think about things like: budgets, unlimited spending, space-race, six-car grid.
Let me know.
Have a great day.
Well, I'm not talking about an unlimited engine formula. I'm talking about allowing teams/manufacturers to bring whatever configuration they want. There will always have to be limits and some degree of parity, as much as we don;t like to admit it, but that does not necessitate a single spec. Restrict displacement, fuel flow, etc, but why do we assume the only way to attract new manufacturers is to restrict everything to one spec that the group seems to think will entice the most manufacturers? It seems to me that opening things up a bit would entice more manufacturers who'd want to show everyone that their way works best or at least works very well.
ETA: I'm also curious as to why it's automatically assumed it would be more expensive than what we have now. When you have a company who doesn't work in a certain engine type and then has to develop it for a racing series rather than doing what they're already good at, how are they saving money over a more open spec?
