Spicing Up The Morgan Challenge
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:52 pm
Following the success achieved by Bernie in adding a bit of spice to Formula 1, I have been giving some thought on how to bring something similar to Morgan racing.
I rather fancy the idea of tyres that wear our half way through the race requiring a pit stop to change them, I am sure that many of the tyre suppliers would jump at the chance to supply suitable boots - at a reasonable price, of course.
Refuelling would also mix things up a bit, so that is another innovation that can be introduced. This would also help the country's economy as it would provide employment for any number of the current benefit claimants to man the churns.
Deployment of a safety car at regular intervals should also be considered to stop 'certain people' from running away from those less fortunate chaps (and Mary) at the back of the grid.
Plans are already being considered for a 'Drag Increase System' that would allow a boot lid to be raised when someone wants to pass, facilitating the all important 'overtaking' so desired by spectators these days.
The touring car chaps have ballast added to their car if they win, so I am proposing that a suitably obese passenger must be carried following a victory to even up things a bit. (May I make it plain that I do not have any particular individual/s in mind for this job)
Double diffusers, blown exhausts, KERS, F-Ducts and similar devices will be banned to avoid expensive development programmes causing cost to rocket, and maybe pricing out the more impecunious driver.
I hope to have a full set of regulations ready for approval in time to implement them for the Techniques Trophy in August.
I am quite sure that all competitors will welcome these improvements to the present rules.
Comments of a sensible nature are welcome from interested parties.*
