This is of topic but I can not resist to tell how budgets was/are used in towns and other municipalities. I have a friend who was working in the department which repaird and maintained electronic equipments. He told that at the end of the year, if they had still money from the budget and nothing to purchase for the department, they purchased electronic components for they’re private projects. If they didn’t use the whole budget, they’re budget for the next year could be reduced. The same I’ve heard from other sources also, they just purchase something useless to fill the budget.

My physics teacher once said that:

“When a physicist design, develop and build a device, he can use as much money and other recourses as he want to. When an engineer is doing the same he has limited budget and resources”

But something can also be done by the rules if we compare the prices of F2 and S1600 cars with the prices of R3 and R2 cars.

For me such formulation of rules only kills the engineering genius which always is a fundamental part of any motorsport.

= an engineers nightmare!
