Seeing how many electrical problems, mechanical problems and wear and tear problems are happening and being worked on during testing, wouldnt it be interesting to ban the majority of the current testing and start the season whilst cars still need developing. That would spice things up a bit on the podium, what would you change if you could? |

Reverse the grid. Or even better, have half of the cars drive one way round the circuit, and have the other half drive the other way. That would certainly spice things up. Or, have all the drivers stand in the pitlane, and all the cars on the grid. When the lights go out, the drivers run to their cars, start them and then drive off. |

have the cars allocated by lottery... leave the rules exactly as they are, but allow the engines to be turbocharged... have one car available for the previous year's WTCC champions and WRC champions add weight penalties like WTCC get people to throw snow onto dangerous corners like they used to in the monte carlo rally !! |

Change the cars so they can overtake each other easier. And ban refuelling. |

Not sure if it would spice it up but bring back big slicks and big wings whilst clearing the bodywork of all the fiddly aero bits. |

Make the tracks wider, or add sprinklers to them so all races are damp to start with: Get rid of those 'marble making' soft tyres (remember Canada - wretched!) Make drivers actually change gears (paddle changing's fine) Get rid of 'Ground Effect' - stop cars from sucking themselves to the track Have proper kerbs (you know, at least 5cm, so they can't just fly over them) Any more, I'll come back. |

Line all of the tracks with unforgiving Armco so that the drivers who are rewarded are those who STAY ON THE TRACK. Furthermore, make the kerbs extremely damaging to any car that foolishly tries to drive over it. |

Have somebody let out a stinger at random intervals during the race, and see if anyone gets caught out by it. At the start of the season you fill up your car with the amount of fuel you are going to use throughout the entire season, thus eliminating refueling stops. One set of tyres per season Place random boxes on the track. These boxes contain powerups such as mushrooms and banana skins which you can throw at other drivers a la Mario Kart. |

One of those things the police put across the road to burst the tyres of a car they are chasing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_strip |

The super mario kart series uses weapons to spice up the racing, maybe the FIA should try that roflmao roflmao |
