World Engine

So the FIA, Max Mosley specifically, is talking about developing a "world engine". That means that every race car out there will have bascially some form of the same engine. No more Ferrari engine. No more Honda engine. etc etc etc. How about this quote:
"We're looking at the moment at a 'world engine' for 2013," Mosley said. "That's to say an engine that would work in turbocharged form for F1 and then all the way down to naturally aspirated form for the lesser categories and in a turbocharged or naturally aspirated form for the World Rally Championship."

They're even talking about using it in the IRL, maybe NASCAR. Who knows. I'm all for controlling thd cost of racing. F1 has gotten pretty absurd, but I think the challenge to the teams should be to develop their own cost effective engines. Establishing a budget for this would work as well. I just hate to see racing reduced to watching the same equipment compete. Racing is much more creative than this. That creativity translates to some pretty cool stuff for the street too. I'd like to see this continue.
