  1. Right guys. I'm closing this thread until I can clean it up. @RevolvingPrawn there was no need to swear at him, but @SamuelTrautman you were biting back way to easy and are playing the victim now things have gone against you. Both of you get over it please and move on. Log off and come back in a few days if you must.

  2. Red Bull are sorted apparently: http://thejudge13.com/2015/11/05/exclusive-red-bull-secure-an-engine-for-2016/
    Toro Rosso will use the 2015Ferrari power unit, whilst Red Bull will design their own "Infiniti" power unit. Basically, Red Bull have built an engine base at their factory where Mario Illien has been working on the Renault power unit.

    So, Red Bull will have the upgraded 2015 Renault engine with tuning by Illien. It'll be coupled with a Red Bull designed ERS system.

    I think a 2 day event could be quite good, but, everything will have to run like clockwork in order for all the timetabled events to run on time. Any red flags in the races for example and everything will just get pushed back, and on a Friday for example, things will get tight in terms of daylight. 

    The example you included there is pretty good actually, you've included everything that currently takes place. However, I think that one of the championships (probably Porsche Supercup) will have to go in order to fit everything in.

    But if I had to make a timetable it would probably be something like this. Not much change but I'd have two 1 hour practice sessions for Formula 1, and I'd move the Porsche Supercup Qualifying to Saturday. This is so the Sunday is a bit less hectic and should allow for race stoppages in the support races without it having a massive effect on the rest of the day.

    Saturday

    Hmm interesting. I did think about 15-minute gaps but they are rarely done now even with three days. Doesn't leave much time for podiums/clearing the pitlane.

  5. There is a lot of speculation going on about 2 day F1 weekends, so what do we think of this schedule that I've mocked up?
