The FIA leaves the door open to delay the entry of engine 1.6 turbo 4-cylinder

The last Friday 3rd of June of the FIA World Council gave to much. Confirmed both the formula one calendar from the WRC, reprogrammed the dispute of the Grand Prize of Bahrain, and approved the date of introduction of engines 1.6 turbo 4-cylinder, among others. A morning busy at the firms said.
The FIA effectively approved the entry into force of these engines. In what many have not repaired is that the governing body of formula one has saved an ACE in the sleeve in order to be able to delay the introduction of these propellants in the Grand Circus. They probably wanted to go on insurance and save the expense in the event of discrepancies. We know that Ferrari is not very much agree with this measure.
The official communique of the FIA World Council indicates the following:

In consultation with the parties concerned, and following the outcome of this meeting, a vote by fax of the World Council may be considered until June 30 to redefine the dates of entry into force of these technical regulations.

We must bear in mind that the parties concerned in this case include the teams and engine manufacturers. It is assumed that more than one will have something to say on the matter. Even Bernie Ecclestone has been contrary to her. In theory the deadline to make firm decision is on 30 June, but with them you never know.
As well, however the FIA did not rule out delaying the introduction of engines 1.6 turbo 4-cylinder. A detail that many not repaired in recent days, but that is there and should not be overlooked. I do not see so clear to see these propellants in 2013.

FIA confirms engines 1.6 Turbo four-cylinder

In addition to the calendars of F1 and WRC yesterday for next season, the FIA issued any future plans for F1. No, as the subject of the engines, is already talking during recent months. However it was yesterday when the Federation confirmed that they will introduce the engines from 1.6 Turbo four-cylinder for the 2013 season.
This is something that is already secure, but it is rumored that even the introduction of this regulation can advance. The only requirement for to occur this fact is that all participants, both teams and constructors, the world of formula 1 are accordingly.

The engines will be four-cylinder, 1.6 liters with direct injection of gasoline high pressure up to 500 bar with a maximum of 12,000 rpm, with management and energy recovery systems.

There has also been on aerodynamic issues, in particular on the height of the hills and the intention to drastically reduce the consumption of fuel.

With modifications to improve efficiency aerodynamic, something that in conjunction with the measures of the motor units, it will allow the reduction in 35 by silt consumption. Also the height of the hills of the cars will be limited to improve security.

The 1.6 engine Turbo SUNRED will have to wait

During the last week, SUNRED was testing his new engine 1.6 Turbo, developed in collaboration with Lehmann, in plots Alcarras and Calafat. Joan Orus structure plans were released in competition over the next weekend on the occasion of the appointment of the WTCC at Hungaroring.
But despite the good feelings that left the new engine that did not give any problem with the test day, Gabriele Tarquini has almost confirmed that SUNRED will not debut its new engine 1.6 Turbo on Hungaroring. For the moment Italian places in 80% the possibilities of using the current TDI engines. It should not be more problem for the Tarquini, Monteiro, Barth, Oriola…ya than the diesel engine, and his powerful low, can be a better choice for a layout of the characteristics of the Hungarian.

Ferrari proposes V6 Turbo engines rather than the 1.6 Turbo

Since the FIA proposed, and later the teams voted in favour, the arrival of the new engines of four-cylinder 1.6 litre and turbo to formula one, there has been a team that has been very much against the decision. This team has been Ferrari than in voice of its President, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, has been very reluctant to change of regulation, claiming that Ferrari is a brand of Supercars and why your business there is the presence of this type of engines.
On the opposite side, Renault. French manufacturer of propellers is the only one of four participants in formula 1 (Renault, Mercedes, Ferrari and Cosworth) which has shown to be in agreement. For this reason, Ferrari wants to continue tightening the nuts to the FIA and has proposed an alternative to the new propeller. Ferrari want V6 Turbo engines. Although in the case of reaching an agreement, in any case they would be available by 2015. Be that as it may, the dimes and bickering on this issue are delaying the development of new propellants by manufacturers. I fear that in 2013 not them we still have available and the V8 will continue to talk, or at least will be present on the grid.

Yvan Muller dislikes nothing new engine 1.6 Turbo

That have the same end of this week with the first event of the season in 2011, world Rallye WTCC, World Touring car will inaugurate the era of engine 1.6 Turbo. But the introduction of the world unique engine don't like everyone. One of the first who criticised has been the two-time champion Yvan Muller.

Chevrolet was the first to track the new engine and is the test has been done with it. In spite of the reduction of engine, the turbo allows new engines to overcome potential to its predecessors. 315 CV of the new 1.6 Turbo by 290 old atmospheric 2.0 CV. The BMW engine data who will set up the Roal BMW.

After testing the French issued its first judgment on the engine and is not favourable. Muller complains about the high price of it, something that recognizes that it is counterproductive in a Championship that is not its best moments. Also shows critic on the problems they are having to find the map for the engine, not to mention greater torque at low rpm does have to take care with MIME tyres.
