The only reason Honda is coming back to F1 is due to the fact that from 2014, new F1 regulations require the introduction of 1.6 litre direct injection turbocharged engines. This is the relevant fact for the topic... the rules have changed... NO MORE N/A engines in the pinnacle of the Motorsport thus why the Toyobaru should be any different?!

Even the displacement is the same (1.6L) as the one I've been defending for the engine that should have been in the Toyobaru's engine bay in the first place - not a V6 of course, but an 1.6 litre direct injection turbocharged 4-cyl. BOXER engine.

Right now Honda already produces an 1.6 litre inline-4 direct injection turbocharged engine for the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) and is already wining in their first complete season attempt. In 2015 they will produce a similar and more powerful V6 for F1 and they will be winning again as they did in the past in F1's Turbo era - the F1's most exciting era of all times!!!

Toyota is lagging behind...


Of course, I would rather prefer to see a turbocharged boxer diesel engine in a TRUE driver's car such as the Toyobaru because that's the next logical step... Toyota and Subaru could get ahead of the competition again with that revolutionary solution. It would be a first for a street car!

And, this brings us to the next post...
