Sounds good. I expect your equivalent for Mitsubitshi Heavy Industries to participate. Japanese are heavily involved in engine design for many F-1 cars and there's a Toyota team or Honda team I forgot which.
I will be busy getting the track and stands ready come end of the year.
Though why do the rules suck? Too much automation allowed (and getting around the rules)?
F-1 has always been open wheel racing as I recall, abet the regulars used to allow way more diversity in design. It sounds like you want a race with closed wheel designs, in which case I suggest something like Le Mans in which both prototypes (limited only by relatively broad technical regulations) and souped up production models race in several classifications on the track at once.
I remember there were the NASCAR rallies, but the Le Mans, from the way it looks, seems fine.
Now of course I'm assuming that everyone is bringing their own designs that are already prototyped and tested. Of course realistically, it takes a number of years to over a decade to bring up a whole new design.
