FX-i1 - The future of Formula 1

[Evan Madore]

And what happens if the car catches fire? F.e. like Kovalainen's Lotus in Singapore last year. And I think I've seen more fires in F1 than flying springs hitting drivers' heads. If there's something to be done about that, first make technical regulations so no springs can shoot off from the back of the cars. But I agree it looks cool

 

[Chris Bell]

Very Very preitty!!! Love it!

 

[Robert Woodward]

so a driver gets knocked on the head and makes a full perfect recovery and f1 isnt safe? look at 1960's and stfu H&S idiots!

If you think Massa has fully recovered I don't think you've been watching F1 for the last 2 years.

Anyway I like it, but as mentioned numerous times, F1 should be open wheel.

Why did Massa have to take the headshot to begin with?

There's always room to improve. A series that gets complacent in regards to safety gets drivers killed. No, it can't be 100% safe but that doesn't mean you stop trying.

 

[Wojciech Grabowski]

f1 is really safe nowadays... Just watch Webber @ Valencia 2010. Wheldon bumped same way, but it's about Indy Car and oval speedways, F1 havent got this problem.

 

[Craig Hume]

I love the look of this car. F1 or not, it would be cool to see.

 

[UMC 22]

Racing is dangerous... we know it, the drivers know it.

You always get knee-jerk reactions whenever there is an accident these days. If you look at F1 safety over a period of time instead of focusing on just one recent incident you see that it is in fact incredibly safe given the speeds and proximity of the cars while racing. Of course we shouldn't become complacent, but we shouldn't go to the other extreme either.

While the above car looks smart, F1 should remain open wheel and open cockpit.

 

[Scott Webber]

Definitely isn't a F1 car, doesn't look or and i dont think it will feel like one, F1 would be no more if this was the replacement.

 

[Bart Hurskainen]

Long live the 13" rim and Fat tires !!

 

[Francis Lanau]

I like the look of the car but i dont think this is right for the sport.

 

[Ramon Alonso]

How you gonna keep the windshield clean during a race? Wipers in F1, I don't think so.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

They are gonna pull a huge tear-off I think

 

[DarkZenith]

Looks okay, but keeping it clean during a 70 odd lap race would be a nightmare! Also, how will they extricate a driver from the car in the regulation 5 seconds? Ejector seats? Nice idea, but really can't see this being a practical development. Safety is of course paramount, but enclosed cockpits is not something that I think would be overly beneficial to the sport. If anything, while it may remove one hazard, it may well create several more.

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Nice but it loses the whole feel.then again, how about making that a two-seater and making it a rally car....

 

[Alexis Clapano]

looks like a tamiya mini4wd to me xD

 

[Kevin Ascher]

Not harder to get used to than the tiny rear ends we get to see nowadays and definetely safer!

EDIT: Oh yes, the rims are way too big

 

[Eric Diaz]

I dont know why people dont think this looks like an F1 car. I think it looks very much like an F1 car of the future. Would love to see this going around Monza.Ill ask again anyone up for making this for Race 07 or any other race sim? Id love to run a fictional F1 league using this.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Me too but not in RACE 07. Maybe somebody with modding ambitions should contact the creator of this car

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

Isn't there a mod with the Redbull X1 though?
