I would just love to see a modern grand prix car with proper racing slicks on. If only it was like 1997 again...

Slicks weren't proper in 1997. They were proper before FIA reduced their width

Here is my quick fakery of F248 on slicks

Looks good

Looks better already, now if they would only adjust the track (width) of the car, it would look fantastic!

If there were only 20 cars racing and they were all ferrari, you'd still accuse the FIA of rule fixing........nevermind they only started it in the first place to EQUAL the playing (crying) field......

There seems to be something wrong with the FIA logo. An intermitent "T" keeps getting in the way.

It's a shame we don't have decent slicks anymore. But withthe narrow track and grooved tires, they are supposed to slow the cars down. And of course, if the car is narrow, it's easier to pass.
There are better ways to slow down race cars than making them look fugly.

They started it to slow the cars down.
