No engine rules in F1. How would the engine look?.

Wow that's a fairly huge post GIR! Not like you at all! Good stuff.

I's have to say weight IS an issue though. Maybe not a big issue, but it still is. Also in F1 cars weight is very tricky. If weight goes up, not only does the car become heavier but it loses stability.

the thing is, the engine sits rear, and if that doesn't work for your track, you're out of luck, unless the engine is light and you have room to ballast enough as needed. the minium weight is unfortunate.

F1 has way too many rules.

I know. And what complicates things is that the increase in weight won't be planar and balanced throughout based on a ratio. when the weight increases it will be more in one part of the car than on the other and not only will it ruin traction and stability by unbalancing the weight distribution, but it'll also put strains on some parts of the car and in Formula 1 that's not just ilegal, it ruins the raciness of the car. It would be like pulling a load around instead of having a perfectly balanced and smoothly distributed similar power-to-weight ratio throughout the car. Try to imagine if the engine was the only thing that got heavier in the car, and not just marginaly, but noticeably.
