Requiring enough ground clearance for street speed bumps?

Why not?
This would make F1s developments more road cars related.

how would a minimum ride height have any effect at all on trying to make a purebred race machine any more road relevant?

Why not require racing horses to have a harness that you can hook a plow too that would make them more work relevant right?

A more enforceable idea would be to simply install speed bumps on the tracks.

Simple

Min ride height could develop a road car using exactly the same suspension of an F1 while keeping stressed engine and transmission.
The basic F1 undepinnings will remain the same only with enclosed wheels, a windshield a more tractable engine and maybe 2 or even 3 seats McLaren F1 style.

On the whole, racecar - particularly F1 - development is not relevant to road car development. Never has been, never will be, and shouldn't be.

A great portion of the suspension in an F1 car is in fact the tires.

Ironically, about the only thing F1 cars have in common with a Toyota Echo is the sidewall profile.

I just don't get the whole 'for speedbumps' thing. It sounds like you want F1 to engineer a way for you to drive over them at any speed, kind of defeating the porpoise.

I don't really know why you would want to go over speed bumps in any race car, how ever aren't speed bumps different widths and hieghts, thereby making it impossible to set a standard ride hieght?

I can see it in my head! "HRT fails FIA-required speedbump test"

A production car has a completely different set of parameters a common ride height will do nothing to bring them closer. A production car suspension is built around low production cost and driver comfort. F1 is built around max corner speed and keeping the chassis level.

Second that.
