My God, it looks like everything I dreamed of.

That, right there, is precisely what I imagined a ‘75 and ‘09 F1 car would look like if you mix them up.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

It’s just a tuned-mass damper, exhaust-blown double diffuser, air brake, and general nips-and-tucks away from perfection.

Engines? Well, whatever, really. Just cap it at 19,700 rpm and don’t choke fuel flow too much (but no refueling, still, so...), equip KERS of any sort and you’re all set.

OK, OK, I guess if there’s anything I’d like to change, it’s this back side. Like I said, exhaust-blown double diffuser, air brakes (maybe make the wing wider and longer) and no pylons (make the wing grow out of the diffuser). There. That’s all.

Needs more V10.

(Everything needs more V10.)

Love the rear wing. Especially because no DRS.

DRS can be made for fun times, if the rear wing itself can be had at any position (standard, DRS, air brake).

It’s a modern F5000 so it’s a 5L V8, right?

The original F5000 from the 70's was the most badass “junior” formula in history.

GODDAMN.

If the revived F5000 is even just half as awesome, the FIA should consider making it part of Superlicense points.

First to post = first dibs. I got to the story first and got it posted here first, which means I’m alert and strike while the iron is hot.
