Should IndyCar Series engine rules like point-deduciton penalty and engine change penalty abolished?
This season IndyCar Series has lot of conspiracies. The prove is deduction point of Engine manufacturer standings who affected Chevrolet and Honda. Point-deduction penalty and engine change penalty should be abolished because can cost the performance of Chevrolet or Honda. The prove was Chevy's 220 points deduction penalty after St. Pete in 2015, 20 points deduction after Barber, 20 points deduction prior to Indy GP and 40 points deduction during Firestone 600 at Texas. And Honda was also hit by 40 points deduction after Indy GP, 80 points deduction after Indy 500, 20 points deduction after Detroit, 20 points deduction during Firestone 600 at Texas and 40 points deduction after Toronto
Regulations in motorport kills it. Look what it did to F1 - its unwatchable joke now. I don't see any reason why anyone should be penalised for changing an engine… Wtf. Tires are ok? But engine is not?
Times have changed the economics of racing in a huge way, especially IndyCar racing. If the current engine rules keep the costs down and more cars on the grid, then I'm all for it. Who's to say that without the engine rules, costs would be so far out of hand that there would be 18 or less cars on the grid?
As far as point penalties… Both Chevy/Ilmor and Honda/HPD are penalized the same way. Grid penalties were taken away, so in my opinion it really doesn't matter. If you don't want to be penalized, build a more reliable engine. It promotes engine durability which actually does translate over to real world road cars. Innovation and relevance has been taken out of almost all forms of motor sports, except for the ridiculously expensive Formula One and the World Endurance Championship. Manufacturers need a reason to justify being involved. Being a testing ground for engine durability is a pretty good selling point to upper management, who ultimately have the final say of writing a check or not.
It's great to dream of the way things "should" be in the perfect racing world, but after the government took away the tobacco money, as well as the split in 1995, things just can't be wide open as far as competition goes. The money isn't there and sponsors are no longer knocking the doors down trying to plaster their names all over everything racing.
Same rules for everyone and they keep the manufacturers from building "ringer" engines.
I don't see the problem here.
- What will be penalty fees for not registering a vehicle for more then 2 years? I purchased honda deo byke 2 years back but for some reason I didn't registered byke in rto so need to know the penalty charges and registration charges
- What are legal rules with craigslist trades? I traded a guy some stuff for a Honda cr250. Hasn't been but a few hours since the trade and I get a call saying they want to trade back. Even aftrer I drove out of my way to get it, and get back home. What is the worst case scenario if I'm to ignore them?
- I'm thinking about doing an engine swap. B series vtech or K series vtech? I have a 2000 honda ek coupe with a d series vtech, but I'm looking to upgrade the power without the use of forced induction. My best bet is an engine swap but I'm still deciding between a b20 vtech or a k20 vtech. Which one would give me more power and what parts will I need?
- Where is/are the jack point(s) on the engine in a '97 Honda CR-V, for replacing the engine and trans mounts? When replacing engine mounts in any vehicle, one step is to lift the engine slightly. On my '97 Honda CR-V, the bottom side of the engine appears to be mostly obscured by the oil pan. (Of course, trying to use the pan would result in disaster.) Images would be great… Detailed images with arrows, etc, would ROCK!
